RMC on GB

[carwashchris]

Was this gun under the money ? I know it's an import and the wood doesn't seem to fit right and there are missing markings, but this seems cheap for a RMC. Just trying to get a feel for the market.

Thanks Chris

You need to copy and paste the web address of the auction in your post so we know for sure what carbine you are asking about. I'm too lazy to go auction hunting!!!

Chris:

Probably not enough information to tell if it is 'worth' the selling price to most reasonable people but I think it's pretty hard to get a decent Rock-ola mixmaster for under $800. Howevr, the importer mark and cheap repark job are nasty and we don't really know the condition of the muzzle and bore. The brazed trigger housing is right for this serial number and a big plus if the housing and some internal parts are Rock-ola, but we just don't know from the limited pics. In my opinion, the stock really doesn't matter that much in this price range. I guess the carbine is really worth what just one person is willing to pay for it but I don't think I would pop $850 for it without a some additional very favorable information. JMHO

At least that's one that S-T-B didn't get. Makes you wonder what it would have been described as in a month or so if they would have worked it over, and put it back up on GB. - Bob

Does he buy under a different ID ? I'm pretty new and I know I've seen basicaly the same gun twice.

I don't know much about them, just had noticed they placed a bid on this one for $755.00 on the morning the auction ended. - Bob

I caught Sam T Blob auctioning one while it was still available to view as a B&R when he bought it.
I posted it here a little over a month ago.
Searched his feedback and it came up.
