Nice shooting rifles.
When I was looking around online I found a channel on YT called USOG, the guy is a gun collector and has several videos on what to look for to get a decent Mauser action at a reasonable price, there were a lot of factory sporters built on FN and Yugo 98 actions and sold under lesser known brand names like J. C. Higgins and Interarms. His videos are what clued me in on looking for a Husqvarna.
Man I wanted a K31, that is one of those screaming deals I missed out on. But I had a long list of stuff and just didn't get there. Beautiful rifles and for a time ammo was dirt cheap.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
