Not on any known list.  Looks like a newly turned up one.  I expect a full suite of photos when she comes in.  :P

If you need to move this to the auction section, I understand.

I edited the auction. Let's have it in your hand before we go and let the world see it (not that anyone from here would wreck your find of the century, but you never know & it's better to be safe than sorry on a deal this good.)

Bought at an estate sale though. Explains quite a bit. Seller was happy to probably double or triple his money. Nice when everyone wins.

Yeah.  I doubt anything would happen, but you never know, money makes people do things they wouldn't normally do, and a $1000 offer thrown at the seller in an unsolicited email might make him think twice about honoring your BIN bid. 


This deal puts you well into SKS legend status.  Even Blicero can't deny that only an SKS legend can find a gun like this... clap1

That is one I could have gotten away with and flipped just in time for my in-laws visit...  It would have looked better for my collection that they disapprove of, and haven't seen the extent of. Showing I could max out a credit card and then pay the whole thing off in a week or so (drool2 time) would show that my investments were sound, and that I would be willing to sell. (only because I would certainly have to)

Congrats!  I can't wait until the photo spread.  thumb1

Truth!
Beautiful score.
So many people **** and moan about gunbroker "rawwr grumblegrumble shill bidders not a true marketplace evaluation overinflated grumblegrumble....hilary clinton..."
But the depth of my collection would be much more superficial if not for my dedication to scrounging, daily, the depths of gunbroker. And it looks like a similar approach paid off here. Way to go!
