Murfreesboro GS 6/7&8/2014

[DMark]

At one of the tables there was a real 1903A4 Sniper for sale.

 

Did my best to buy it. 

 

The seller and I started at over a thousand + dollars apart from each other, but worked it down to a few hundred dollars difference between us.  We just couldn't close the deal.

 

It was still there when I left this afternoon.

 

He has my card......  :x:

Thinking....I can live on one kidney right ???

 

Actually thinking...., can a man have TOO many 1903s?  :-\

 

The real problem was the seller's asking price was for a correct rifle.  It had the wrong stock, base & rings and some gosh-awful big-ass scope.  I was only interested in the receiver, barrel, and bolt.  The bolt had also been given a shiny blue job.  My guess is that it had been a hunting rifle at one time and somebody threw it into an old USGI replacement stock to sell.  

 

So my offer was figuring in the cost of the correct parts and re-finishing in order to make the rifle right.
