Gotta hand it to him...except for the blatant falsehood, its a great story for a $200 rifle.

Flagged. What an idiot the seller must be if he actually believes his own words.

But...but...but...it was at Pearl Harbor AND Iwo!!!!

Must have a USMC (United Shoe Machinery Company) bolt in it from the reconditioning.

Flagged as well. But must meet a threshold before "the community has spoken" and Armslist removes it.

It has been removed. What did it say? I miss all the good stuff

Chopped down sporterized 1917 that the seller claimed was his grandfather's "sniper" rifle. Had been on Hawaii during the Pearl Harbor attack, then on Iwo and Tarawa.

Good story...but not even remotely possibly true.

I wouldn't go that far Pat..................I happen to own a Ruger 10/22 that singlehandedly won the Spanish American War and was instrumental to clearing the Blackforest during Ol WW2.......... you can feel the history in the black synthetic stock...........brings a tear to my eye thinking about my great grandaddy raining bullets down on the Spanish from that B52 over the Indian Ocean...............sell it to you for $3,200 FIRM.

Only if you're interested in my 1911 that Washington carried across the Delaware and somehow made it to the Battle of Little Bighorn...no ammo though...

Interested in trades? My uncle brought home the first HumVee to cross the Rhein River in '45; the Glock plus cash...

There was a guy on Armslist last week with a nickel plated, pearl handled Ithaca 1911A1 that his grandad, A SARGEANT, no less, carried as his issue gun. It was as issued, nickel plated issued, because of his rank.He had it for a grand, then $1200, then a grand in one listing and $800 in another.
I was going to try to throw him $300 as an offer for a bastardized, in need of de-nickeling, reparkerizing, project gun, but really didn't want to destroy his memory of his grandad.

Buy the gun, not the story.

You mean I didn't really buy Hitler's laser range finder taken out of the bunker as a war trophy? Damn it... There went kiddo's college fund.

I'd be interested in the 1911. I believe that it is the sister weapon to one that I own. I have Washington's SKS. Yes, you read it correctly. His genuine SKS. From his adventures in China where the then Emperor gave it to him as reward for returning his missing daughter. But wait it gets even more historical... Ben Franklin created the first 20rd magazine for this fine piece of Chinese art. I think this weapon itself is worth no less than $197,348.28. I'm open to offers.
