That would complete my s/r collection, but I'm in the same boat, money's tied up.

Central Loans in Seattle had racks of them for sale in the late 70's, $79.99. Those were the days.
Good store, they let teenagers handle the firearms knowing there was no way we could buy them.

These old mil surps are my weak point in firearms. My grandpa was never really into them so I never got into them. Can not believe how much they've gone up in price. My grandfather owned a gun store in Lacey and he would sell them for crazy low prices. Dealers would buy them from him and yake them to the gun shows. Wish I had gotten into them than I find them very interesting now. Day late and a dollar short.
