       To complete our military weapons display that has recently been improved, we still need the addition of two very important rifles that played such vital roles in our country's military history. I am looking for a DONATION of a Springfield 03 and/or M1-30 caliber carbine.  We are not able to purchase these rifles but will pay shipping charges or pick-up personally here in Ohio.

  I can be reached on my cell at

   (740) 583-0835 Thank you,
