With EXTREME patience, and with a good education on the product, it is possible to find all original guns for fair money. I have three of them, with $1,500 total investment since 2012. One of them in near mint condition might just bring close to the total if I chose to put it on a national auction site. The others are easily $700 to $800 guns in good condition.
I'd like to see some photos of that near mint rifle!
