I went over to Strickland's gun shop tonight with my wife and she bought me a birthday present a few days early... a Mod 1908 Brazilian Mauser in VG conidtion with a mint bore and great tiger striped stock. Price was only $150.
I also got an Enfield No4 MK2 in near mint condition outside with a mirror like bore with a very small bit of rust here and there in the bore that should come right out. Corret sling and all, price on that one was $250. I tried to get it for $200 but was told these were consignment guns. I had to have it.
Pics to follow either tomorrow or later this week. It was dark outside when I got home.
Lots more goodies still left there including what the owner said was just about every Carcano made, and a few Chinese Mosin M44s (Type 53 or 56?) Can't remember the correct model number for those. One was mint with a counter bored muzzle.
