Passed along from another carbine forum.
LOOK at pictures 4 and 5....

Universal Firearms M1 Carbine Copy .30 Cal Carbine : Semi Auto Rifles at GunBroker.com


Current price of $320.00 with 19 bids, Current lead bidder is a new buyer with no feedback.
NO mention of a Return Policy.

Here's THEIR Grading Scale of 1-10:
1 = Junk, parts value only
2 = Restoration Required
3 = Poor
4 = Fair
5 = Good
6 = Very Good
7 = Excellent
8 = Like new
9 = Factory New Brand New
10 = Mint Brand New

No mention at all of this problem.
I can't quite make out the picture of the "GRADING SCALE"
Blowing it up, I think it says in the right column:
Bluing Condition: 4
Bore Condition: 5
Mechanical Defects (?) [B] NONE[/B

Time to send this seller a question......................

Thx,

Being as I don't care for the Universal carbine, I would never bid on one. I think the current $320 is too high. But that's just me.

The only selling point for this one is that it's already broken. No having to wait for it to happen......

Sold at $580.00 ??????????????

[phil441]

Re listed at $361.00 with a broken slide.

Why do people buy junk like this?

[ww321q]

People buy"junk like that"because
1 they can. Free country
2 don't know any better
3 can't afford original junk!

Grind off Winchester, stamp on Widow Maker.
