Hi guys.

Great feedback.  As far as Bass goes, I’ve bought many guns from them.  They ship for free to your local store and you’re able to take a pass on it if the condition is worse than expected.  I noticed on Guns International there is a lag in their listings and many times the guns are sold shortly after the listing even goes up so I don’t think anything scam like from that.

Seeing the listing on Merz is making me feel pretty good on the $750.  I can always add period correct sights later.  Can work on getting the stock finish back closer to original with a coat of Linseed oil.

Looking forward to seeing it in person.

Either way, I don’t think I’d be out any money if I wound up selling it in the future.

Thanks.

Stephen

I agree that it probably wasn’t a scam.  I didn’t suspect Bass of doing a scam, rather I wondered if a scammer had highjacked their name.  

I don’t think you’re in danger of losing money on this carbine.  Let us know how it works out.

Well ? Did you get it ? Bore condition ? Pictures ?

Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.
