capt14k 2,051 Posted October 2, 2018 Went to an auction Saturday in a free State. Scored a No5 MkII grenade trials rifle not import marked and in great condition. Number on the receiver rail is not the serial but the model number. Less than 50 were made. Poulins had one for sale last year with estimate of $5,500-$7,500 and this one is in better condition. Very likely many there thought it was a fake. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CAL. .30 M1 2,101 Posted October 3, 2018 What I find exciting about it, let alone the rifle itself....I was unaware of them. ...was that it was at auction.... Person to person, especially of an older guy gal is tough to swallow....but auction....wow. Now i do know a place where two m1a1 paratroopers can reside 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bully 749 Posted October 3, 2018 I sometimes wish I had half an idea of what you're talking about with the mil-surp stuff. Apparently congratulations are in order so I offer you mine. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bringit99 16 Posted October 3, 2018 So, when did you realize this was a special find? Before you went, while you were at the auction, or when you got it home? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
