[Shooter 2.5]

Don't bid over 400 for a rack grade or 525 for a service grade Garand. If the gas cylinder is loose on the barrel, don't bid on it.

My self imposed ceiling is in the $400 range. I saw one at a local dealer a few months back for $675. It was in rotten condition, but a few weeks later it was gone. Guess someone with more money than sense walked in.

I have seen some good deals at local auctions and some rotten. I think the best I saw was a Winchester Model 12 in 16 ga that sold for $50.00! The worst was a Remington 870 that went for $450.00. Both were field guns, but the 870 had seen better days. Usually if there is someone there who knows the value of whateer is selling you had better be prepared to pay that price.
