A woman,where i work,needed some money. She ask me if i knew anybody whom would want to buy an old 303,that she uses for hunting deer? She is a flannel shirt/tough country type of person! When she first started to work at this place,i saw her and,as dumb as i am,i said" Hey buddy, are you from the near by area?" I was behind her and couldn't see her name tag! Well,buddies name,after she turned around,and said hello,was ANGIE!
This was a while back. She had contacted LYMES and being off work often,was getting back on her bills!
She gave me a price and sight unseen,because she is a nice person and a hard worker,i said OK,i'll take it. She has since quit working,from being sick!
The gun is a cut down[Bubbafied] Mark 4,stamped 1945.
I have no use for it and i know no one whom would want it? I bummed two shells and fired it and it shot. It has been setting in a corner for over a year,in my way

You may want to post it in the For Sale section. Be sure to upload some pictures and offer a good description. One of us will surely be interested in it as a cast boolit gun.

Don't want that ole 303 - how about a 45 ACP?
