    I spent $500 on the one in the pic above. Expensive? Maybe. But it was in such good condition I feel it was worth it. One thing I have noticed on TM that people are starting to want good money for old sh%tter rifles! So I feel that $500 was well spent.

    It probably sounds stupid... But who knows? Someone may have walked past my grandad with it in WW1. Or someone in his unit may have had it. Hugely doubtful I know. I know it's millions to one that it happened, but stranger coincidences have occurred. He passed away in 1968 from a stroke from a blood clot caused by a WW1 shrapnel wound. My last memory of him was going to his bed on my 5th birthday and he gave me a leather school satchel with a bag of hard jube lollies in it. He passed away 3 days later....
