Auction Mystery: Is that an M1C Sniper???

[jond41403]

Wow, great score. There is a guy on eBay right now selling an original scope mount exactly like yours asking $2,100. Who knows if he will get it. I would hang on to that rifle if it were me, cuz like you said, you may not have another chance to buy another one for the great deal you seem to have gotten it for

I did see that mount. He’s asking twice what I paid for this rifle!
This one was luck on my part and, basically, negligence on the auctioneer’s part. The entire auction of 150 or so NICE firearms had listing titles like “Winchester.” This one was titled “Springfield.” Someone searching the site for a Garand would never have seen it!
In the auction world it’s seller beware. The seller must be knowledgeable enough to get the goods in front of the right buyer. This seller failed is all.

And yes, the more I read the more likely this one will stay in my safe. There’s only 4 or 5 thousand floating around still, right? I can hardly let this one go with those kind of odds of even seeing another!
