Thanks for the suggestion about ebay. As usual, I didn't have the patience to wait, so I got a repro from Don Shlickman. It really steadies the rifle when firing prone. I will keep looking for an orig ... |

Really nice models. The Rufe had to be the baddest of float planes because it was a Zero Sen fighter with floats. They used it for air cover over Attu and Kiska. I'm not familiar with the Sairen, but ... |

Trey, I was away for a month after the rifle went on CT and was surprised it was still for sale. 'What's wrong with it?', was my reaction, and when I couldn't see anything bad, I took the plunge. Mone ... |

Trey, Were there light and dark colored stocks for the Kokura series 24 and 25? I have seen both blondish and deep red colored ones for sale that don't seem to be sanded or messed with. The b&w ph ... |

Hi Trey,
I have Fred's book, but can't find what the S stamp on the left side of early T-38 receivers means. An auction site said it was Chinese, but I don't think so. ... |

So that's where all the T44's are! Great pics of the AL show too. I asked the museum here if I could clean the dirty dark T44 they have, but they say the huge plexiglass case it's in is too heavy to l ... |

I forgot to say that my T99 short now has one of Don Schlickman's monopods and it is a perfect fit. The pod touchs the marks behind the nosecap that were made by the original.....Jim |
