Hawkeye_Joe Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 I contacted the guy who was selling the FAL and the Bridgeport M1 and asked if he would sell them seperately. He agreed and we have struck a deal...U.S. Property Stamped, matching upper and lower. Owned by a PD after the war.. I'll have all the history soon.. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif The FAL is still for sale, he posted me a couple of pics of both guns I'll post his name and contact info so anyone who wants a beautiful FAL can get this one from him.. he wants 9K for it....SOLD!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Hawkeye/ThompsonBridge.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Hawkeye/ThompsonBridge1.jpg FAL: $9,000.00..SOLD!!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Hawkeye/fal1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Hawkeye/79eeb68e.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Hawkeye-- You again prove the adage, the early bird catches the worm. Excellent job getting a nice prize! I look forward to a nice range report from you when it arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye_Joe Posted December 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 I wasn't as early as others but maybe it was that ol' "silver tongue" of mine. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/laugh.gif Maybe I should try talkin' a bar down outta a tree... http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snipershot1944 Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Joe Silver might have had something to do with it, but I think green was the color that was of greater importance. Sniper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny.45 Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Hi Guys, Hawkeye Joe, Congratulations on your new aquisition. She's a Looker. Does anyone know if the LaFrance FAL is still available? I've been looking at FALs for months. Thanks, Johnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye_Joe Posted December 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Johnny.45, Call him, it possibly is. I told him I would post it with those pics. I think it's a real buy, if I had more of that green that sniper's talkin' about I'd have gone for the 21K deal... Sniper, What do you think makes all those ol' tongues silver? That's how us ol' farts get those good lookin' babes too... http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/laugh.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye_Joe Posted December 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 14K 50/50 plus transfers and shipping. He would have paid for 1st transfer and shipping if I'd paid 100% up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
