05/11 Swiss carbine

[EddieB]

Looking at purchasing an 05/11 Swiss carbine. PW Arms banner on the receiver, bold knob cracked and missing some of the knob, looks like a chip in the stock (NOT a crack) at the tang otherwise great for a Swiss stock. All numbers match, sling included and has a troop tag. I know that 05/11's only had 7900 (or somthing close to that) made, I am looking at 400 for the purchase. Any opions\advise? I don't have any picture right now, but will post if availible (or purchased )

Thanks for any input.

$400 for any Swiss straight pull is a good deal these days, for a 05 carbine, I'd say it's a steal. Probably easily worth double that if not more. I've only ever seen one for sale and it was $800 several years ago.

Thanks for the reply Aragorn.
