The ad said, "Old Army Rifle, $100.00."

[Adam Helmer]

I read our weekly free "Penny Saver" newspaper and saw the above ad. I called the phone number and was told I was the 5th caller, but nobody came by to see the piece. I told them to hold it until I made the five minute trip to town.

I saw a "1921" dated Carl Gustav 6.5x55MM M-96 Swedish rifle in mint, matching condition. I did not quibble over price, I just rolled off five 20s and dashed home to the farm. An hour later I had test fired the piece and it was right on point of aim/point of impact at 100 yards. Ho, Ho, Ho, I got my Christmas gift for 2009.

Last year it was a M1898 Krag .30/40 rifle and now a 6.5mm rifle. I just keep reading those Penny Saver ads.
