While surfing the net I found this Cooke and Brother repop being produced in Dahlonega, Georgia. While his storefront looks pretty FARBY, the rifle appears to be the perverbial diamond in a goat's a**. I'm not very knowledgable on these rifles so I'll just regurgitate the info from the website. They start with a Euroarms P58 the convert to the Cook & brother rifle from Athens, GA. It's seems pretty pricey at $1000; $600 if you supply the rifle. Are there any other makers of a Cook and Brother repops?
More experts out there than I, what do you think? finally a good use for that old EuroArms 2 bander gathering dust in the gun safe?
The only thing I noticed that didn't look right was it looks like the tang of the triggerguard has been brased together to create a longer tang for the sling swivel. But this could be entirely correct manner in which the original was made but I doubt it. Da** I hate not knowing it all!:cry_smile

I'd post some pics but the website uses a scrolling picture viewer and can't copy and save those.
I know its use is limited to late war only being made in 63-64. How many total were originally produced and who and where were they issued to? Bummers is coming up!
