Mannlicher,
Thanks for the suggestion. Fulton Armory is certainly the top of the heap in terms of service. I found their magazine prices pretty high, however. Additionally, when I spoke with Clint about a week ago the only USGI mags he had were 30 rounders.
I was hoping to find some hidden gem out there among the Carbine cognosi. In the end, it might be a case of pay top $$$ online or hit the gun shows. I'm new to the Carbine scene so I'm still trying to feel my way around where the deals are to be had and supplies to be sourced. Thanks for helping with the education.
