SN 8847 on GunBroker, sporter with cracked, repaired stock, Williams rear sight. A project gun???? Or just a fun shooter!

I was looking at that. Tempted to make an offer. Waiting to see if the seller would send a photo of the right hand side to confirm he actually has the rifle.

Who posts only 1 picture on a $4,000 sale? Need more pictures before risking that much!

That is what worries me. The one photo they included looks decent and I could probably live with the scope, but I am just hesitant to gamble that kind of money w/o more info.

Has anyone gotten burned on GunBroker? I know their buyer protection plan only covers $400, but will a visa reverse the charge if the seller is bogus?

I sent a question to the seller asking that he post more higher resolution and detailed photos

For sale, see picture.  Comes with stock, action, and rest of barrel, bid accordingly!!!    
 

I just had to do this!!

Ha ha! Love it!

Torrey....I have to wonder if even Gun Broker would consider that a bit of a stretch or not.

I’ve seen auctions without pictures in the past.  And when I contacted the seller, they responded with “did not have a working camera”

The seller responded to my query about more photos. Here is his response, "I apologize for slow replies I have family over for the holidays. I added more pictures to the listing."

Indeed, there are now 7 photos, but none show the SN, and most are still of the left side.

NR feedback rating for seller.  Which could make this auction a risky buy.  Use caution if buying.  Seller does have a “make offer” option.

Looks like it sold....

Have to wonder if his adding photos helped to sell it???? While not wonderful, as a scoped sporter, maybe not a bad deal. It would really have been nice to see some better photos of all angles & sides of the piece.

Serial number looks like 8847. I didn't see that it sold, though.

8847 was relisted, the scoped JSAR we were discussing sold though

Thanks. Mixed thread.
