Heh, that's not so long ago. Just saw one add in local gun magazine asking 270e (almost $350) for "NEW" (with quotation marks) M91/30. Thanks for posting that Mr. Pukkihauli.

Hey Finn, If that term "pukkihauli" is that finnish for buckshot? I love it! Being old Buckshot works in the trucking business puke I haulie seems fitting.
Sorry Rick, I just could not resist the "puke hauler" line.

Pukkihauli is buckshot or actually it's "buckshot pellet"; these things won't translate very well to the letter. I didn't think of association to puke hauler though, but it is awfully funny
