Ever since late '59, when I would ride my bike to a nearby Kresge Five and Dime store, and buy another Mauser or Enfield, I kept wanting a 303 MKIII Jungle Carbine. Found a mint '46 at a LGS and bought it. And wanted a KAR 98, and sure enough, a few years ago at a LGS bought a '44 "bring Back" with serial numbered Bayonet with frog and original leather sling. Then again about 6 years ago, finally a 44 Inland Carbine. Then a 1903A3, to go along with my father-in-law's mint Garand.
But the firearm I have wanted for decades and decades, yet don't have yet is a 44 mag Ruger Deerslayer carbine. I know of a very early one but just can't justify its cost. Maybe someday. NV
