Philly,

I don't know about the RMC, but there is something strange looking about that band - and the way the handguard fits in the back grove. In fact there is a large gap between the stock and the handguard in the left side.

Just an observation....

I found the giant RMC in the slingwell funny looking along with the CC on the side. I also found the color of the receiver,barrel,front band,slide,trigger housing and bolt odd.And they are all the same color.It also looks like fresh scrapes like the front sight had just been pushed off. How did I do am I learning anything?

Tired Retired, you are seeing something strange about the band alright. It is not on all the way. Not far enough to seat in the spring. Thus leaving a gap at the other end. Shows on the photo from the bottom as well.

That's not the only thing strange looking. Goofy looking leaf sight. Been reparked. Nice crack on the right side of the stock.

How do you even know it is a Rock-Ola other then what they wrote? There is no photo showing the receiver. Or the barrel marking for that matter.

I'll stop there, let someone else have some fun.

Strange alright, as in gives me the willies.

$1299.95 but at least no bids, so far.

Fat bolt parkerized? Band spring has more wear than the receiver? Stock maybe sanded as buttplate doesn't seem recessed enough and mag well proturudes too much? Marks on rear sight maybe from an installation tool used recently? Type I band mint, though stock used and looks like a type III band wear half way up the barrel? It does look like muzzle end had marks from removing sight. Just uneducated guesses on my part.

Also no mention of any barrel markings.

The wood doesn't look right either That is an odd CC for a Rock-Ola. It is humped together with a lot of odd parts.

ok, ok, ok... I finally got it... I understand that there are problems with this one... so you think I should offer the guy a bid of $1,199.99 instead ????????

[phillydude]

i think the reason for the barrel band is , the hand guard wasnt correctly installed into the receiver as you can see from the pics. the reason i posted this,is was the rmc stamping in the sling well done like that at anytime? although the spacing is wide, it is straight

You are one decimal point too far to the right
