So I Met a guy at the recent collector association gunshow, turns out it’s who I got my vickers display gun from that I turned into a live semi auto. This guy owns a gun shop business on the east coast and travels a lot buying cool and interesting stuff from auctions, estates and the like. We exchange numbers and been chatting back and forth.

Long story short he had this rifle and we worked out a trade, I just wanted a nice example of a 1903 since I had dumbassedly traded off or sold the ones I’ve had over the years. Pics of it looked like it was really nice and the sights seemed interesting so we worked out a deal, of which I felt like he was asking way too high but I wanted it so oh well.

I get the rifle, and it’s beautiful, I’m happy.

Today in the mail comes an envelope with a collector magazine in it, dated 2018, from my new best friend the guy I got the gun from.
