It's a nice rifle for sure, but that's the most I've ever seen a Karabiner S bring. Anyone here know anything about it? Looks like it may be associated with SKSNut ("Tracking the Uber Rare SKS Rifles" list on SKSBoards).
Dang with an exponential D. :o
alcohol had to have something to do with that price. :o
Almost 14k.... And you can't even drive it.... I seriously need a new hobby.
I was done a couple of days before the auction started with this one. I submitted a 4K sealed bid ($4600 cash price) with RIA and received an email notification the following morning that I was not the high bidder. The winning bid of 10K (11.5K cash price) was a surprise to me too.
If it goes over $20K I will stop bidding. rofl
Geezuz! Must've been either a museum purchase, or the original owner!
