    Heads Up On GB !

    Passed along from another carbine forum.
    LOOK at pictures 4 and 5....

    Universal Firearms M1icon Carbine Copy .30 Cal Carbine : Semi Auto Rifles at GunBroker.com


    Current price of $320.00 with 19 bids, Current lead bidder is a new buyer with no feedback.
    NO mention of a Return Policy.

    Here's THEIR Grading Scale of 1-10:
    1 = Junk, parts value only
    2 = Restoration Required
    3 = Poor
    4 = Fair
    5 = Good
    6 = Very Good
    7 = Excellent
    8 = Like new
    9 = Factory New Brand New
    10 = Mint Brand New

    No mention at all of this problem.
    I can't quite make out the picture of the "GRADING SCALE"
    Blowing it up, I think it says in the right column:
    Bluing Condition: 4
    Bore Condition: 5
    Mechanical Defects (?) [B] NONE[/B

    Time to send this seller a question......................

    Thx,
    Charlie-Painter777

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Being as I don't care for the Universal carbine, I would never bid on one. I think the current $320 is too high. But that's just me.

    The only selling point for this one is that it's already broken. No having to wait for it to happen......

    Sold at $580.00 ??????????????
