I agree. Could have, should have, but didnt. Changed my mind at the last minute to go after something else that caught my eye at the time.
Man I hate how bright shiny things can catch the eye

very much a bummer, that wasn't recent, was it?
I dont know anything about them but, when it comes to the Arisakas rifles, which is the best or most desired of them?
I may be wrong but I think the one for sale at that price was a US Postal Meter. Yep, the prices of them have gone up tremendously over the years. I think even the Universal ones are commanding some astonishing prices as well these days.
Why did you not tell me about this one? Geez... Paid $900 for my NPM...
Oh it was online lol... I signed up for the 15 Sep Talledega CMP matches... Have the rifles to shoot in all categories except the 1903 Springfield... Thinking I need one now... You gonna go drag your old butt out and shoot? I hear you can "squad" and multiple people use the same rifle... (after using hand sanitizer on the rifle...)Because it was a couple of years ago and it sold on gunbroker anyway.
I'll give you a crisp $20 bill for it... You got a little profit out of it...My first hunting rifle was a German K-98 Mauser, re-barreled to 30:06 - back in 1962. I had it drilled and tapped for a Weaver variable power scope and put a Timmy trigger in it. I also put a fancy sport stock on it and added a leather sling. Took my first deer with it. I traded it for a 6mm Remington, BDL which I still have. Wish I had kept the Mauser too, it was a superb shooter and that action was smooth as silk. Big mistake. I also have a M-1 carbine that I got through the CMP for around 18 bucks IIRC. It was/is in near perfect condition with a very nice stock. Neat shooter too, and no, I won't be trading it...lol.
Martini Henry....the closest I can get to that rifle is using it on Battlefield 1 when I play video games lol.
Yeah you actually hear the crack as the virtual bullet passes you. Well made game. Probably not all that historically accurate since everyone seems to be toting a semi or full auto rifle, but fun nonetheless
I still want a Martini-Henry... Probably not PC anymore to play audio clips from the 1964 movie "Zulu" at the range while shooting it....
You reminded me that I have an Australian Martini Cadet in .310. 2 friends also have them. All are as-issued. I reload and cast bullets for the 3 Cadets. A bit more difficult to reload for, as heeled (like a .22 rimfire) cast bullets with outside lube are used and brass is formed from 32-20 cases. Also have a "running man" steel target we've used the Cadets on to simulate Zulu or other 1800's British foreign enemies.
1st rank fire! Rear rank fire! Rear rank fire!
With only 3 of us and another to give commands and for safety, we only have 1 rank to fire on command.
