was a "Supplier" in WW2.

The only "supplier" was Remington & Smith-Corona.
Rifles were crated & shipped direct from the factory on rail cars, to the government supply depots.

Sounds like grandpa wasn't a "supplier".

Sounds like he was just a thief undermining the war effort!

The OP isn't the good "Doc" with the Swiss interests perchance, is he?

I'd like some of that rifle action too, please! Put me down for one!

Grandpa's name wasnt Pike, was it? Did he ride with a wild bunch of boys? :)
 
Really, I'm not being coy, but this is a friend of a friend type deal.
AK103K...sounds like you might have been a wild boy?:D

Naw...but for some weird reason, I do keep hearing in the back of my head "IT MUST BE MOUNTED ON A TRIPOD!" in an annoyed German accent. :)
 
The NY Mafia did have pretty good ties in the Cleveland area at that time I wouldn't be surprised a few cases of rifles etc didn't go missing. Considering there was a lot of the auto industry producing war materials in the "rust belt" i.e. Michigan, Ohio etc...The rumors may be true.
 
I'll buy one, just take a group pic of you in front of all of them, and holding one of them up. lemme know how much, and where to send
the m.o. to...
 
If I could get past the fact that they are almost certainly stolen (and I can't) AND if they really are consecutive-numbered, I would take out a loan if I had to and buy them all, especially if they are in the USGI shipping containers.
