Okay, I want to buy a couple vz-24s, and the ones with cracked stocks will be fine.. I saw em for 59 each that way, not too long ago, and can't remember where

any ideas?

I thought I read Big 5 Sporting Goods, but don't quote me on that.

Not sure if you are interested but I have a nice 1909 Argentine barrelled action w/ bottom metal and all matching numbers that I will part with. I am located just south of you. Let me know.

I have got about 15 of them at BIG5 on sale for $70 + tax, some sales higher or lower.

They had them in a week long sale every two months rotation, but I hear the Mausers are now less frequently on sale.

I have bought over a dozen guns from AIM, and they are always a pleasure to do business with. They under describe the products, and are poilite, prompt, and helpful.

SOG, on the other hand, is not as user friendly:

InterO has a higher complaint ration, but still reasonable:

Century is tricky to order from. They will not tell the prices to anyone but dealers. You must become an associate of the FFL that you work with.

Czech Model 1924 Rifle, Cal. 8mm (7.92mm)

Select Condition:: Very Good + $89.87 Good + $79.87 Good with Cracked Stock + $69.87

I called Century about 3 weeks ago and they told me someone (wouldn't say who) had bought every VZ-24 they had including the broken stock ones and the ones with parts missing. They did have a lot of the 98/22's - I got a cracked stock one for $69 with my C&R FFL.

As much as I love my converted VZ24s, 98/22s look good, but I have not converted mine [yet].

Ed,
Sent you a PM.
