1903 SPRINGFIELDS AVAILABLE Jim Beckwith has located a pawn shop in Topeka with limited number of modified, non-firing Springfields. The broker wants $300 each. If anyone wants one to hang on their wall, please contact Jim. These were used by a high school drill team. The barrels are plugged, but they are in good shape. They can be retrofitted to fire for additional money. Since they can be retrofitted, you would have to find someone with a Federal Firearms license to handle the transaction if you want to have one shiped. Alternatively, Jim says that if you are coming to the reunion in September, he can make the purchase and transfer the weapon to you with a bill of sale. He would need the money from you in order to do that. Please note that local sales tax is about 8%, or an additional $24. |
