i gave my review and my opinon on the GIBBS repro A4, and was as honest as i could be with out flaming the company or the rifle.
as for recovered drill rifles??nothing wrong with them if done right, and when sold, the seller says {BUILT FROM A RECOVERED DRILL RIFLE} so the new owner shelling out cash will know exacly what he is getting.
i have recoevered a few Drill rifles, and when done and sold, i list on the sale tag, recoved drill rifle and when asked i tell them what and how it was done.
some didnt care, some did.
but i can look myself in the mirror every morning, and smile:}
