[Milsurplus] Fwd: Pawn shop RAL restoration

[William Cromwell]

Hi,

Nice! I have been looking for one and really have given hope of finding 
one within driving distance. I have a lonesome RAK here and the HF mate 
would be great. I found posts for two or three of them within driving 
distance but when I tried to buy them the seller(s) vaporized. (shrug)

73,
