YES $400 is high, especially since its not complete. It would already be mine if it was $300 or even $400 if he paid for the parts to restore it. The owner is a bit peculiar and he got the guns from his father's estate. He doesnt have a clue; but worst "thinks he does"...

Its been sitting there for about 5 months and I have to look at it everyday and picture what Id do with it. FMJ and Soft point ammo is available still relatively cheap (because its not a popular round). I figure if I bought the rifle, Id buy 2000 rounds and my kids would be shooting it when Im dust.

I love project guns. It lets me design it for me and anticipate it while Im waiting for the gunsmith work. For this one, I can shoot it while Im waiting for the butterknife handle to be out on the spare bolt. Im still not sure about the scope part

If it's not custom, it's just borrowed
