What do you DR experts think of this? Seems a little "high" to me.

ShowbartJust saw a restoration sell for $17.5K.

N E 450 No2Basically what you are buying is a Black Powder Express action...
Lets see @4 to 5K to restock.
7 to 9K to rebarrel.
I do not know what remaking the fore end metal would cost, but I would guess 4K including the wood.
So for @ 20K you could have a "new on an orignal action" BPE.

THIS IS A GUNSMITH SPECIAL
More like a coroner's special. A restoration is one thing. Not much here to restore. Lot's, however, to rebuild.

Frank Beller$400. would be my MAX bid ....... JJ could re-barrel it, and do the stock. But then, you'd have more in it than the price of a new Searcy. Nah, I'll just keep my $400.
