Well, you'll be kicking yourself for that till the end.

I still kick myself for not getting an all original '63 Chevy II, engine matched.
That was 5 or 6 years ago I think.
It's probably got a 350 in it now, cut a lowered with silly rims on it.
But to each their own.

Aw...don't kick yourself too hard...we ALL have ones that got away....you'll have many more over the years....you just can't think about them too much or too often or you'll drive yourself nuts. Wanna know how I know? #-o

Hmm..was in a shop I forget the name down around Santa Anita or something...guy walked in with a great condition Springfield Trapdoor...could have got that for a good deal I'm sure....just didn't act. Another time in Turner's Pasadena and guy walks in looking to put a MINT Polish M44 on consignment...could have got it at a great price...but just balked. Had a Hungarian 91/30 on layaway at a Big 5 that was sold out from under me....ditto a nice Tula 1927 ex-dragoon sold out from under me while on B5 layaway. Those are the first ones that come to mind....

man your big 5's have good stuff. out of all of their mosins at the big 5s near my house, i have only seen two that were not tore to hell or totally mis-matched. lucky for me, those two are both in my safe

for the 1896s and 96/11s $300-400 far as I've seen. sometimes under $300. I haven't seen the 1889s.

50 dollars!!
