Can anyone believe this price ?

Curly1 · 03-16-2008, 06:57 PM

Nice an shiny

Hugh · 03-16-2008, 07:01 PM

"professionally restored"?????

jamese · 03-17-2008, 08:13 AM

Hardly makes a good shooter.....would have to bead blast it to get rid of the shinyness......

thegundude · 03-17-2008, 08:34 AM

But there's LOTS of pictures...

That thing is hard to look at. In fact, it's shinier than the Arty I got from Ed!

pipeman45 · 03-18-2008, 01:33 PM

Buffed to within an inch of it's life!
If they would have left it on the wheel just a little longer.
It would have looked just like a Ruger Mark1.

Navy · 03-18-2008, 01:35 PM

How could they do all that and not chrome plate the mag and outfit the piece with some of those Fritz faux mother of pearl grips?

wow, that must be shiny

Ron Smith · 03-18-2008, 03:04 PM

Maybe they mean profusely restored.

dalep38 · 03-18-2008, 03:27 PM

I'd hate to have to fathom the reserve on that garbage!!
Thank You, Dale

John Sabato · 03-18-2008, 03:47 PM

His reserve is $999 and the buy it now price is $1099

What a lame description... the sideplate does NOT match...

c3006 · 03-18-2008, 09:48 PM

I allways love a auction that starts out with "Here we have"

alvin · 03-18-2008, 10:15 PM

$730 + $15 shipping. Good bore. Very little mechanical wear. Works. No reserve.

dreiluger · 03-18-2008, 10:58 PM

yikes ... that is a rough one but if cheap .... hmmmm

alvin · 03-19-2008, 03:11 AM

Cheap? I don't know. Maybe. Probably not.

I had a hard time to figure out: keeper, filler, shooter, or parts donor, which role this long barrel can play.

Stu · 03-19-2008, 05:53 AM

I've just realised:all I have to do is take that dipped E german byf, swap out a couple of matching parts, buff of those nasty sharp edges, paint it gloss black and I can triple my money ! I used to think a quality restoration by someone like Thor was the way to go, I feel such a fool.

davidkachel · 03-20-2008, 07:08 PM

I want to sell a bridge to the guy who bid $997 on that buffed-to-death masterpiece.
