Just traded this from a good friend. M71 .348 cannon. A deluxe made in 1937. Has all the early features. Another friend gave me the missing sling swivels.

Bert has this rifle in his files. Big Larry

I certainly regret selling my 1937 M71 Deluxe. That is one beautiful rifle.

I agree! If you take it to the range I can recommend the extra-thick recoil pad from PAST.

Thanks guys. I have fired these before, “when I wore a younger mans clothes.” Quote Billy Joel. No way now. I had two of these in the old days and shot them plenty. Big Larry
