After an exciting two hour bidding battle past its original end time, I won the rights to this FN 49 Egyptian 8mm in 95% condition.
As the last second ticked away, I alternated between cheering and pounding myself on the head. All the money I had saved up for a Cal-legal FAL.... gone!
So how did I do, guys? Did I get carried away in the struggle? Or do I now own a battle rifle that can hold its own againts its CAL-legal battle rifle rivals Garand, Cal-FAL, and M1A?
.... bank account looks so forlorn and sad.... so many zeros... on the wrong side...
...
I have 5000+ rounds of good quality 8mm mauser surplus, all corrosive.
I have 2 gallons of windex and an aluminum one-piece rod.
I've got a bunch of mauser stripper clips.
... and no money...
damn that C&R. Everyone told me that I'd go broke if I got an 03, but did I listen? no....
