I'm still looking for a decent DCM M1, (good luck with that). Of course, don't know what the hell I'll do when I find it. I guess just keep looking at it until someone with money buys it. That's what usually happens.

That's like the Holy Grail of Superposed guns. I may be wrong and defer to smarter folks, but I think they just made that config for a few years after the 20-bore super first came out ('58, I think?). Yeah, I'd be kicking myself, too...:)Chad Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13219295562957353591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972254401664966699.post-60038895401923144652014-08-10T09:43:48.530-05:002014-08-10T09:43:48.530-05:00It's a sad, familiar story, Chad.

I drooled over an M1 Carbine, stamped with the Rock-Ola imprint. It was at a gun show and tagged with a $175 price tag. At the time, that pretty much covered my whole take-home pay for a week. Of course, if you could even find a Rock-Ola M1 today, that $175 is about what the interest would be on the credit card purchase. <br /><br />I know, it's not a fine shotgun, although I've drooled over my share of sweet side-by-sides over the years too, but it's definitely one of those "kick myself" memories.

The guy was local and really had no clue about the gun he was selling for only $600.00. I am still kicking myself and really can't remember why I even passed in the first place, I must have been in a funk something.uplandishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10492606017361856076noreply@blogger.com
