#12 of 30 you bidding ?
Sucks you have to either single load or remove the scope every time you want to reload .
You realize this 120 year old carbine would be an illegal "assault weapon" in Ca., Ill.or NY ?
Got a gas trap Garand as well.
Sorry, but this one isn't up on You Tube yet.

That, or something quite similar, was what elephant hunter "Karamojo" Bell used for a back up weapon.
He used mostly 7 and 8 mm rifles on elepant, and the stocked Broomhandle to impress natives.
I REALLY like "Forgotten Weapons".
 He has some awesome videos on "how'd they DO that.
