I decided to clean house a bit, and listed the astra for sale or trade locally, ended up selling it. On a side note, I picked up a nepal martini francotte rifle at the swap meet with some ammo. 577/450. Thought it was pretty cool impulse buy, got it home, did some reading and not sure what to believe but I did see IMA who is still selling these things sells ammo for 133 bucks a box of 20 and its recommended not to shoot the francotte rifle. So off it went.
Then as I was trying to get rid of some other junk, I ended up with a M1 garande in trade. Turns out its a century build but I got rid of some stuff I couldnt sell for something I still think is neat. Now I just need to order a bit of ammo and see how she shoots. I think this one like the lugers are going to be keepers. I may swap the reciever to a USGI one in the future, but for now im leaving it alone. jim
