draw an 8 with a pen. youll get the same look. a stamped 8 wont cross over itself.
a engraved one will, thats done by a trophy engraver, and not a tool and die maker.
thats the differance in a 20.00 job, and a 125.00 job is :}
Why would anyone go to that much trouble to buld such a crappy rifle for so little money?:confused:

The 8 on the barrel in question looks like you were taught to make an 8 in the 1st or 2nd grade with a single stroke, while an original Springfield 8 looks like you were taught in mechanical drawing with one flattened 0 stacked on another flattened 0.
Does anyone have an example of a barrel near the barrel in question? Even the ornance bomb doesn't look like any example I have.

Both these rifles are B.S. Gawd only knows why someone would go through all that for nothing. Barrel was probably sporterized & some pothead tried to bring it back to life. The stamps on the second rifle are the cat's azz though. I guess preschool gunsmithing must be back in class? Who knows maybe someone will buy em!
This is what it should look like.
by looking at all his other auctions, likely he,s a dealer that is selling an estate, and really doesnt know the history.
though i dont know him, i think he,s trying to give a fair disc, of the weapon, and may have some experiance with 03,s just enough to be dangerous.
he does have some other interesting items, i actually thought about the RR 1911A1 he has, but his opening bid, is more then the pistol is worth for a reblue.
i figured about 650.00 tops, he wants 1200.00 or something like that.
Steven,
You anywhere near Garber?

Not to go off topic but I thought it was the Duke, John Wayne that initiated the practice of "prick punching" in his movies.....I just thought springfield and the others modified it to their weapons :pQuote:
