I'm looking to build a Gordon-esque type rifle. I have most of the bits, but I'm struggling to find a fixed handle upper with the rear sight assemble for non-comedy prices. Anyone have one lying around?

Bump

One time only, New Year, pick it up from my house, price-drop deal. $650

Bump.

Not a problem, i thought it was worth a punt! Happy New Year brother!

Ah crap. Feel like trading for my Tikka, plus a touch of boot?

Bump

Yeah, I know, but I can only drive 1 & this new F150......hoooo-WEE! It's quiet, smooth, comfy, economical & quicker'n a lunchtime stripper with a 5 bar shift.

Back up. Buyer backed out.

Oh you know.... just mooching around n stuff!

Sorry, I was editing as you posted! Price added.

This is the first vehicle I ever bought when I moved to the States. 4" Rough Country lift kit, K&N cool air induction kit, Edge pro tuner. Alternator & A/C pump are less than a year old, serpentine belt, vacuum pump & water pump replaced in 2020. Leaks a little oil from the cylinder bases, but it's done that since the day I bought it in 2009. Driving daily, I get through maybe a gallon a month. It's got a Leer (I think) high camper shell fitted & I hope you like it, because I silicone sealed the ba$tard thing on there! I've spent more nights in the thing than I can remember. The locks & sliding windows work & don't leak. LED headlights & discreet spots & obviously a 2" tow hitch (I'll throw in a couple of 8" drop hitches) Mismatched spare tire with 1642 miles on it (I tore out a sidewall on a sagebrush stump the day I was coming home from Wyoming in 2018) Armstrong tires installed & I reckon there another 10k left in 'em. Transmission was completely rebuilt in 2013. I bought it with 90,000 on it & it's just turned 360,000. She's only ever let me down once, when the serpentine belt snapped on a holiday weekend in Topeka, KS. Other than that, the old girl has performed flawlessly & taken me from Mexico to the Canadia, Carolina to California with zero complaints or issues. The interior is well worn, ragged & tatty, but I will replace all duct tape before she sells. It's got a few whisky-blisters to the body & most of the clear coat is gone from the roof & hood, but other than the drivers side nerf bar, zero rust. Everything that's supposed to work, does & does well. Average interstate mileage at 70-74mph is 21mpg. Round town is about 16. She doesn't smoke, cough or splutter, but she absolutely DOES need to be plugged in overnight when the temperatures hits freezing. If it's cold, there's a puff of smoke at start up & that's it. A/C & heat both work as they should. Twin fuel tanks & the crossover switch DOES work! I replaced it a few years ago & it's been trouble free since then. Diesel has always been treated with Howes during cold weather. Oil & filter get changed about 3 times a year & all the work has been done by one guy here in Tullahoma, who I'm very, very happy to refer you to for inspection or verification. She'd make an amazing truck for anyone who understands that things need preventative maintenance & heated seats ain't everything. She's noisy, rattles & probably smells a bit inside. She's hauled livestock, dead critters, construction supplies, gravel, manure & just about anything else you can fit in an 8'x4' box. I would absolutely, 100% trust her to take me literally anywhere in the US, right this minute. I'm only selling to replace a portion of the cash I spent buying a newer, middle aged guy friendly truck. Honestly, if I could afford to keep the old thing, I absolutely would. In the last 15 years, I've spent more time with this truck than most folks spend with their wives. If you buy her, expect to see me tear up as you drive away...... $8,000 will drive it away today. If I pay to have her detailed, polished, cleaned up & name brand duct tape used on the interior; $10,000 I'm sorry, I'm not accepting offers. I know it sounds like a lot for an old banger, but seriously; shop around. These things are desirable & extremely well thought of.

Bought new in 2017. Less than 200 rounds down the pipe (probably closer to 100) It has a few minor scuffs & scrape on the stock from being dragged around the Wyoming Rockies, but nothing major & is be happy to text better pics if you'll PM me your number. I bought it to be my dedicated elk rifle, but find myself more comfortable using my 6.5x55 & .358. It's too much gun for TN whitetails & I'm replacing it with another .223 It's a fantastic, smooth action & genuine 1¼ MOA shooter. That's with 10 rounds. I don't piss around with 3 shot groups. Bare rifle only no scope, mounts or rail included. I'm happy to deliver within an hour of Franklin County & will throw in whatever ammo I have. That'll be 90% reloads & some factory stuff for $750

Bump. Would also consider blued. Would also trade my .44 SBH.

I'm looking to buy, or trade for, another Tikka. I'm looking specifically for a stainless .223 with a 1:8 twist. Lite, Compact or fluted superlight, doesn't matter. Scope & mountings not required. I have cash, or can trade straight up even for the same rifle (Stainless Lite) in .30-06, or partial trade my Ruger American (AICS) 1:8 .223 Wylde plus boot.

Bump

Offers will only be considered, mid-stroke.
