good deal on one of these rifles?


Lord no. I've 2 tucked away to rebore/rechamber to 9.3x62. Not many offered for sale. Watch the internet each and every day until you find one. If its important enough make a full price offer with you paying the shipping.

Good luck with the gun. Why would it cost $7.95 to see if available? I have had good luck with Gunsamerica but your not buying from Guns. Your buying from the seller. Lookup the phonenumber online and use a US Postal money order. If the deal to to good to beleive look long and hard
