How are the lands and grooves in the bore?

What percentage of the finish is still on the gun?

How's the stock?

If it is one of the common examples (no special history, markings, etc.), it would have to be in excellent condition for me to justify the price. A quick survey on guns sold on Gunbroker show them going for $165 - $300 in general. But you also see a few primo examples going for many hundreds more.

Of course, there's no such thing as paying too much... only buying too early. If you don't have one already, and really love it - go for it. Just be careful you don't look for the same thing right after buying, because I GUARANTEE you'll find one in the same or better shape, for less money - it happens every time.

Good Luck! Post pictures if you get it.

my friend tim had it apprased at a couple of gun shops that is how he got his priceand he had to replace the forstock on it so thats the only unoriginal part.

Offer him $300.

I paid $250 for the one I showed you. They can still be found for low money.

Now you need to go Green and hit the Member's shoot at Mansfield so you can buy some 303 from Qmmo.

Man! Why does everything have to be scheduled on the same day! Now I'm missing the Mansfield shoot and a Military Rifle shoot in Nashua.

Well, at least I'll be shooting SOMETHING - our team is competing in the State Bullseye Championship.
