You chimed in (which you are ,of course , most welcome to do) with an opinion as to give the seller the benefit of the doubt. It might seem 'mean' but it's meaner to knowingly try and pass off a rifle as something it isn't. The seller knew it wasn't real and I would stand by the statement any day of the week.

An arguement or debate over the benefits of certain features, brand quality etc no problem.

This came about with the simple question , is this real? No
Does he know it's not real? Yes

There is no debating (or arguing) that point.

My spider senses tingled immediately. The language used demonstrated a reasonable understanding of firearms. I have read 100's of ads, there is a certain pattern that emerges. This ad in particular stunk to high heaven of fishiness. Peeeeeyooooo!!!!!!

I don't argue online. I offer an opinion, share experiences, ask for advice. I learn as I also try to educate.

I'm not trying to be dismissive of your opinion to give the benefit of the doubt. But I have been on this earth long enough to know bullsh1t when I smell it.


I understand your position, and i didn't pose an opinion, and i guess the answer to my original question (and that's all it was...) is a definitive NO...and that's fine. I did say ymmv....i also play the ball and not the man. :thumbsup:

Alright, so this is not funny.

But I thought I'd share this, because I find it incredibly awesome! Enfield, sportarized and converted to 45ACP.

Love it!

Not sure it would be of much use for anything beyond novelty value. I wonder how a .45 goes out of a longer barrel. Got a feeling it would drop pretty quick after 100m

I think they forgot the decimal point. It was supposed to be $12.95!

Good for a bit of fun but I also struggle to see why. I guess 'because' is a good enough reason but not for that money.

Alright, so this is sort of funny... Check out the price on this baby!

So I am thinking the internals are made of gold or something.

Waaaitaminute... http://www.ozgunsales.com/listing/48532 ... 1_rof.html reads like a No5 rifle but mismatched stock and bolt. And action seems a little dodgy too... Fake? What say you? Or at least a little fishy?

Quote " Rifle is new. Unfired since it leaft the factory, steel bases included. I´m losing money on this. Buyer to pay transfer ..." doh what does he think its second hand and nothing special that would go up in price. Its a Remington XCRii 300WSM its the bog stock standard rem 700 synthetic stock.

I'm surprised my Vektor on ozgunsales isn't here, it's sitting there for $6000 because if I was to take it down it would cost another $25 to relist and I'll be dammed if I don't get my 12 months worth of advertising!

Oh yeah Noisey, that thing is a doosey. If I happened to be at a range and someone pulled that thing out at the bench beside me, I would quietly pack my gear and move away, far away.

Is that foresight on backwards? And looks high enough to obscure the scope...
Seems well thought out.

I reckon she's done a bit of work around the farm. Either that or the owner hated guns.

Saw that too, wtf is that even? It surely is not a K98K. It resembles the early Swedish Mauser carbine patterns with that enfield-ish front ear arrangement.
