If you came in the door that was facing the bathrooms it was in the hall to the right at the end of a row about half way through the hall

we walked the whole thing and went in that hall twice, there was a few things that caught my eye, but nothing i jumped on. two things that had me on the verge was a nice glenfield with the deer stock in 30-30 with scope for 275.00 and a Pre safety Marlin 336 in .35 Remington for 350.00 or 375.00 with a scope i think. But i decided to pass as they were just wants and not something i would use much if bought.

I'm just the opposite. "I don't already have one" is a prime reason for me to buy a new gun!
Heck, My wife's great grandfather's 99 in .303 Savage (now ours) is what finally got me to start reloading- No one makes loaded ammo for it; Norma and Prvi Partizan occasionally have brass available.

And as I have yet to get in to reloading I tried to shy away from the Savage calibers
I love my .303, not the heaviest caliber in the word but that's why its attractive.
Savage 99's are one of the few things I am still actively searching for.
My current (and only) 99 is a 308. I love it.

I would have taken one in 308 as well if the price was right

, One day, ill have one.. One day.
They are out there, I have just missed a good deal on two of them. They tend to be later production and a lot of the ones you see have the detachable mag (blasphemy)

Didn't even know they were made with a detachable magazine

Yeah, I could have bought one already, i just havent found the right deal. I have bought 7 rifles since Thanksgiving and have a few more in the works. Plus a few $1000 in tools for resale. Its not a fund issue, but i want a nice one at a great price. If i dont find the "combo" i pass each time.
This was todays Purchase.

Thanks, it isnt perfect, the stock has two little cracks that i can have repaired or ill replace it, but I thought it was a good deal for a IBM and i didnt have a IBM in the collection yet. Its 1943, and is also AO marked on the receiver next to the recoil lug which i was told meant it was a auto ordinance sub contracted and brings a few more $$ than the standard IBM. Im happy with that

Not wild about that Blue Sky import mark but sometimes you just have to go with it when everything else is calling to you 
Nice M1. Well done.
FWIW I believe the detachable mag 99s are Spanish. I also recollect their barrels are mfrd differently. Then again, that memory thing is acting up...

I agree, would have rather it not had it but you dont see IBM's too much, its actually the first one i seen in person, Funny thing was when i asked the clerk what kind of M1 carbine it was he told me it was a Blue sky M1.
, Had they known what it was it would have been higher than 700 as they are over priced on most of their stuff there. Of course once i pointed out the crack in the stock the price came down a little.

Thats interesting, i didnt know they had detachable mags either, now ill have to keep a eye out for that.
