Not accusing that seller of anything, but it might help to know the "sellers's" ID on Armslist in case anyone wishes to contact him about this rifle or is offered any other great items at less than half the value by this same seller. For an unknown reason about 300 records vanished overnight from my database leaving only about 1500.
:-(
The record on that rifle No. 4 MK. I (T) X33343 was one of them. As I recall it sold or at least was listed for sale at about $4,000 about a year ago. Being offered at $1,600 is a case of "too good to be true" in all likelihood.
I have been burned by a "seller" Gerald Gallipoli in Quebec on a web site for gun owners. Money was sent and suddenly all communications stopped and no rifle showed up. I informed the Royal CanadianMounted Police who showed no interest in the latter until I told them that he had a copy of my firearms licence and might try to use it to fraudulently obtain firearms.
