What's up with ridiculous handguard prices????

[imarangemaster]

I was looking for a cheap (even repairable cracked) handguard for my "shooter" stock set. I could not believe the $$$$$ people want for handguards. Cheapest I found was $24 for a birch, but I was hoping for dark to go with the stock. Most are $40 and up!

I think I have one you can have. I'll look Thursday. Heading for the coast to hang with my brother tomorrow. Haven't seen him in over a year.

[imarangemaster]

Great!, Thanks Bill. Have a great time at the coast. Where are you going??

[Bill Hollinger]

Cambria and then Pismo Beach. :-)

[imarangemaster]

ARGH! I love Pismo and Cambria. I was thinking of taking my wife there sometime this winter to do some surf fishing and commune with the sea. Have fun!

did yall hear about the m1 garands that are coming back from south korea there going to selling for as low $220

[imarangemaster]

Tell me more!

[lude92]

just look up m1 garands from south korea on google and read the story it got my blood pumpin there importing 87,310 of them.

When the bidding ended for the Garands the final bid was $309 each and included the spare parts. Now factor in the shipping and the price is going to be even higher plus the mark up. The total bid was well over $26,000,000.00 for the whole lot of rifles and all the spare parts. So don't go looking for any $220 price tags on these rifles.

[Tired Retired]

The only "thing" that is going to sell for $220 is going to be the pitted, re-assembled rifles using worn and broken parts of the weapons that would otherwise go in the scrap metal heap.

Just my two cents....
