He promised it to me today for 650 30 minutes before pick up he says its not for salemagdump said:
I think he was wanting a 24" Cowboy, how is rebarreling a round barrel 1894c going to gain him that without considerable added expense of a cowboy forearm, new longer mag tube, etc? Just curious..gyrhed said:
I believe you are mistaken. The rifle in question is a CBL and it had a 24" barrel in it's privious life, but since 2003, the rifle is only made with a 20" barrel. That 22" barrel is off a different model.Mikeflies said:
JEB308, With all due respect, don't you think you'd have a better chance of getting this rifle, if you weren't announcing it to a bunch of crazed, Marlinitis stricken fellows? I mean how many guys have checked this post out? I think you figured out the way to drive the price up more, to a point where a regular guy might not be able to afford one.JEB308 said:
Nice thought, although don't you think anybody else is watching Gun Broker too???? Come on. Just because someone dosen't bid at the beginning of the auction doesen't mean they shouldn't be able to at the end. I have never bid at the beginning of any auction, just to see where it's going, if it's going too high quick, I don't generally bid. My point: If you don't announce it, nobody else knows except those who are looking on the auction site. I mean look at JEB308's first post. He was offering it up to anybody, becuse he thought it went too high with 4+ days left on the auction. So just because he changed his mind later because his son wanted one, everybody else is supposed to drop their plans?? I think not. These are popular rifles period. Gun Broker has a 15 min. rule, so you can't sneak in a last minute bid like Ebay. There are over 250 views on this post now. I think we can all still be friends no matter who gets it, good luck!eaglesnest said:
Thats cool... I hadn't read this thread that closely so thought he was in the bidding from the start. I likely wouldn't tell the world if I were in his shoes, but I wouldn't try to take it from anybody on here who was bidding in earnest on it had they posted their intention first. I generally like the folks on here and was just expressing what "I" think is right is all. I would feel bad later had I out bid someone on here who I knew beforehand was bidding on a gun for his son.. Thats just me. Of course anyone else can do what they wish with no ill will on my part..AINT NO FISH said:
