Congrats, HUPs of any kind are a good find.
I too ended up making a purchase over the phone from prefair today, but pickup will wait until the spring. That's an amazing store, I wish it was closer to here. Mind you, we have Westbourne, but the winter kind of limits purchases to only 6 months out of the year.

Would be nice to get back to Ottawa for a bit..I enjoyed my short visit there last time. I may go back thru on the same deal as last time, in which case the dates are not mine to choose.

Prefair Shots
Although my interest at Prefair was focused on the CMP frames, there were one or two items that caught my eye:
Photos 1. 90mm gun (sold) 2. Remaining 90mm guns (one was being "negoitiated" the other remains for sale) 3. Rifle box of some nature 4. Rifle box label 5. Rifle box exterior It is interesting to note that since the 90mm gun section has been at Prefair, there have been no air attacks in that area. As for the frames, a road trip has been organized for early Saturday morning - once again, Bob Carriere's Ford will be hauling home the rusty gold. Hopefully another HUP will find its way to the Hammond Barn this Spring...

Box rifle at Prefair
Bob When you go to Prefair tomorrow could you pickup 2 rifle boxes for me. They are for the .303 rifle. They are located on the shelf closest to the storage room. When you go in thru the front door turn left, go to the wall, you will see a camo tent, turn right go 20 ft and the 2 boxes are there on the right on the ground. Green 6-8 in wide, 5 ft long. Bottom and the top. We paid $10 ea. We should have bought the 4. Thanks Gilles

Prefair will soon lose it's protection from air attacks. I have information that all 3 guns are to be heading out west, likely in the spring.

Must be something about snow and CMPs
Hi
Glad to see you are keeping up the tradition of picking up CMPs in the dead of winter, your right about the mosquitoes down along with the snakes, wasps, etc. All three of my CMPs came home with snow on the ground, makes loading so much more fun. Cheers Phil
