I have this on hold, and I'm having doubts. Yes, I know stock has been sanded, although it still still matching serials on it.
If you buy it, don't expect to be able to sell it easily. Rifles that are this poor condition don't move very fast, you have to find just the right guy.
BSW barrel, common in this range, but still neat..
I agree nay based upon condition, but an rc? I would wait and have the $800 in ready for an opportunity, - a rc is not an opportunity at $800, that is a premeditated blunder and waste of $800. No rc is worth $800 unless it is some sort of code rarity that a collector needs to fill an impossible hole. A BSW/36 or a like rarity that hasn't been given the full rc treatment.
Often a great deal comes down to having the money at the right time, if I learned anything over the last 40 years collecting rifles, it is not to settle just to get a rifle, being very deliberate is more important unless you have plenty of dough to throw around (otherwise you will end up with 20 problem rifles that only Jethro Clampett could be proud of instead of 8-10 rifles that compliment one another...)
Never implied it was a rc, - the question replied to was this ce/41 or an rc, I say both are a poor "opportunity" at $800.
John, Probably right, I liked the Beverly Hillbillies growing up...
