[QUOTE="sherrick13, post: 4209330, member: 9406"] I like milsurp. I REALLY like milsurp. So, as you know, new stuff doesn't come around very often. But when it does, I'm interested. I decided to take the $1500 plunge on the Porto M937A. As they are damned rare in the US. I have a M1904/36 Vergueiro and this would make it a good companion. It came with 900 rounds of Greek 1939 8mm ammo which makes the price a bit more palatable.

It is in excellent condition. Of course it is matching and it comes 100% complete. Rifle, sling, rod, even bayonet.
