There was one on the gun show recently, in decent condition, and they wanted $250.- which I thought to be out of line. In the early 90s, I had FFL, and I was buying all kinds of weaponry from distributors like CSI, Birmingham Pistol Parlor, etc. "Pre Internet" times. Times when gun deals came to us in the form of SGN (all black and white, with amusing drawings or soldiers, gear, and weapons).

Eric,......since you are asking about this rifle here (now,....35 years later!), I assume you never fired it? And I must admit,......your questions about M48, and M44 are puzzling for me. Owning a weapon for several decades, and not knowing ANYTHING about it? Really? Or are you just "testing" the forum members on their knowledge regarding military surplus rifles?

I have NEVER owned ANYTHING (tools, machinery, cars, motorcycles, airplanes, boats, guns, watches), that I didn't research in depth, learned everything about them, and then used them, serviced/repaired them, etc.
