That would be too cool! If one comes my way and in my trade or price range I'll snag it. But first, I want a M1 GI carbine, looking to trade for a decent one. My eyes are wide open for mant different WWI, WWII and Korean War firearms. Then will come British, German, Rusian and Jap rifles and carbines. I'm patient and can wait for the right items to come my way.

Check the "Photo Gallery - Post a picture of your latest purchase thread". After casually looking for for a P14 for a few years I came across one in my price range. There is a picture in the "Latest Purchase" thread. They are both Eddystones.

I checked it out, very cool to have "a set" of these. In great condition too! I'll keep my eyes open and see what chance brings my way.

Well, this morning I went out to the new range in Pawnee and shot my 1917. It was windy so I did not stick around very long. Nice range but kind of small, it would have been nice if the shooting positions were a little more spread out but what the heck, its free.

The 1917 performed flawlessly, shoots straight and because of the weight almost no recoil. I really enjoyed it. I'll have to get it back out on a calm day and try to get some decent groups on paper. Today my groups were about 5 inches at 50 yards leaning on the table and trying to time my shots as the wind swung the rifle around. At least they were on the paper which the wind then removed from my backstop and took it off into the grasslands. I guess I need better tape!
