considering the price of the mag that went for sale down this way then it will be exorbitant

[paulseamus]

Spoke with the seller on Tuesday, he will not consider offers under $4000.

Describes the rifle as being in almost "unfired" condition.

Whilst I would like one, at $4k, there are others higher on my bucket list.

I get the feeling the rifle is a miniature rifle club conversion of a BSA commercial rifle.... a milsurp, it aint.... would be good to get it and look at it to be sure... but never for that money..

Don't get me wrong, I want it... but it isn't worth any more than $400 + the magazine to me. My offer reflected that... I wished him luck and thanked him for his time.

Ok so he won't take under 4000. Why doesn't he just advertise it as that so we can all laugh and get on with our business. He hasn't even got the description right.

The last PH mag sold in Australia on that site went for 900 bucks.

I may have been a little hasty above... not sure which way to jump with the information on hand, he did say it had no royal cypher, only marked BSA on the butt socket, but it must have the date on it somewhere, he's advertising it as a 1908 rifle.... He said the action was cleaned off, but if that had been the case, the BSA would have gone too.... The butt has a wooden plug in the marking disc hole, he said it was there "from new" which raised the eyebrows again.... the owner told me he specifically collected miniature rifle club rifles....
..... just seems something isn't right... besides the price

Anyway, I wonder if we will be welcoming a new member at some time soon, showing off the trainer he just gave his kidney for....

And that is the very magazine! He was the purchaser. . .

Wonder if the bolt was modified to work with the magazine he bought? It's not just a simple slap in the magazine deal.

John, when I spoke to him he confirmed the bolt was "the correct .22 no2 bolthead with the feeding chamfer" on the bottom. The instructions for the mod are in the LoC anyway, so anyone can do it. So... if he did buy that particular magazine, then he has been caught in a little fib, having said the rifle was as he got it many years ago.... He did say he had three of the magazines at one stage and reckons he has first offer on a couple more he knows about too, so it may not be the one he bought...

Well, another 1416 owner. But who knows what a 1416 is, they were awfull careless with that number. Mine is a sporter with a ramp front sight, Schnabel foreend and double set trigger. $70 USD in Germany in 1968. Never have found it in a catalog.
