Very nice find. I have an Island 30 carbine, that I shoot every now and then, but trying to keep it in great shape as these babies are doing nothing but going up in value. I also have a .32 auto from WW1. It is a Vesta, that my Grandfather brought back.
Nice find!
Why can't I ever "find" guns like that.........

I still have the Rock-Ola carbine, and all the original papers, that my dad bought from the govt. for $20 in 1963. Dad also bought several thousand rounds of LC ammo for $.02 each. Dad is long gone. But the carbine,some of that LC ammo, and some great memories of learning how to shoot my first semi-auto with Dad, are still here.
Don't feel bad Larry, I can't even find a cap gun, let alone a real gun....

Now tell us the original wood stock has been replaced by a wire stock which folds an scrapes the forward wood!
That is outstanding!
Does it have a little button sticking up on through the left side of the stock next to the receiver right at the bolt lugs? If so I don't wanna hear about it!
Last Friday I was helping clean out an abandoned building so we could bulldoze it down. I to made a wonderful find. That beautiful English Ivy vine growing over the doorway, was really Poison Ivy. The leaves aren't even out and I've got a good dose of PI!
By the way, there were no guns, no gun accessories, and no ammunition in the building.
You have my kind of luck!Originally Posted by schutzen
In the mid to late 70's a guy at work needed $80.00 to move so he offered me a gun he had. I went over there and the gun turned out to be a Rock Ola. Needless to say he got his $80.00
