    So we look at a Sporterized rifle today and we blame it on BUBBA.. But more likely we should be blaming it on large companies like Sears and the NRA for chopping down rifles.. and in this case charging a premium to do it..

    1966 Sears Catalog.. Had to pay more to get them chopped up back in those days..

    And Bannerman before them with the Krag carbines. I still like my Bannerman carbine, it association with the company gives it some additional history.

    Oh please do not start that again.. next you will have indiucky running over that cliff like a lemming in heat..

    God knows there are many sins to be placed at the hands of the Bannermans.. Many ghosts still roam the castle ruins.. but this is not one.
    your NRA is responsible for many. Maybe all of those carbines...

    I don't want to hijack this thread but have any of you looked through Numrich's "closeouts" lately?

    Garand walnut unissued stock: $29.95 (Imported back from Italy), used: $7.95.

    M1C Griffin & Howe scope mount with base, screws and pins: $119.95.

    M1D scope base, rings and hand guard: $99.95.

    They have reproduction and USGI flash hiders for M1 carbines, elevation and windage knobs for Garands and more.

    All I can say is, "I got mine!"

    Go to Numrich's site and look on the top banner for "closeouts" and take a towel for all the slobber and sweat...

    Thanks Mongo! Can use some of the carbine stuff on there and always wanted a flashider. Usually about 70-80 bucks if you can find one.

    A few years back I took my mom to have dinner with one of her old friends, and the friend had just gotten back from a cruise up the Hudson river. I asked her if she had seen Bannerman's castle? She gave me the queerest look, and finely asked how on earth I knew about that? She gave me an even stranger look when I replied that I have one of their catalogs.

    You have not lived till you have seen a horror movie or a play on Bannerman island.. When the fog comes in you can hear the bell of the Pollepel trying to make it to the safety of the harbor.[h=2][/h]

    That's what people wanted in those days. Rifles for hunting and target shooting.

    Surplus military guns were cheap and available by the crate, very few were collecting them. They were modified to meet the market demands. Times change.

    40 years from now the rage will be nice light weight sporterized rifles and start chopping them down again..
