Sa 1903 mark 1

Hi Dave,

Having the correct stock is a real plus in my opinion. I think I'd get six one hundred bills and offer them. Often with milsurps, stores will mark them up a bit thinking the buyer will want to bargain them down some. They mark them up so they can come down and still make a profit. If he didn't take the money I'd walk and not feel bad. (JMO)

I was at a large gunshop in Yuma, Az.....starts with an "S"...... last fall while training for a job. They had a few racks of used rifles which contained a pretty beat up Eddystone M1917. Not much finish, stock had been cut down......the price tag stated $299. I took the rifle to the counter and asked if they could do better. The guy took the rifle to the back room. He returned and told me that the price tag was an old sale price and that the current price was $399 and was firm!. How's that for bargaining?! Needless to say, I did not buy that particular rifle.
