Having committed to leaving the 1950 K38 I snagged last week in its natural state (thanks to the great advice of my fellow THR members), I decided it'd be much better to just buy a pretty one to keep it company.
Found this 1977 14-4 and bought it today, private sale. This is the full target variant in excellent shape, not flawless but pretty darn close. Even came with the original box and manual. It was great to meet the original owner who bought it back in '78 or '79 when he was a young man stationed in the San Diego area. Then to hear some of his fond memories packing it in the woods, priceless. He seemed genuinely happy that it went to a good home.
It officially reports for duty tomorrow at 11:00 range time
