Sure is purdy, I bet she's got a hefty price tag.

Only a couple thousand hundred.

Price was quoted at $700. At that price I can't see them being anywhere near the quality of the originals.

If the maker used the same blue prints wouldn't you think with modern CNC equipment and better controlled metallurgy of today it might be at least as good and possibly better.

That's the M18, NOT this.

Ah, yes. Reread the article and saw the $8,000 price tag. That's no good either.
It's amazing how much money went into the old war rifles isn't it? Still cheaper to get a vintatage matching 98k at this point.

National survival (or conquest, depending how you look at it; probably both at the time if you put me on the spot) had (and I guess has) no price point.

A century later, what are you paying 8 grand for?

I like the new Tika Arctic for 6k less but I'm not buying either, not least because the Tika removes the awesome new sight if you want to put a muzzle device on.

I wouldn't care about the muzzle device but the Arctic may not be all that its cracked up to be:

If I had big money to spend on a bolt gun I'd do a custom chassis build. $8,000 would get a pretty top of the line rifle.
