Ok I went up to DJ's , Hell of store. He gave that winchester a going over and broke my heart. Retail value $2000 to maybe 2400.

Came home and took it to Cabelas again. First guy says $2000 but he wanted a second opinion. That guy says the barrel had been cut and it was perhaps worth $1200. I made a few observations as to why they would build a gun with the front sight set 2" back from the end of the mussel and since it is a takedown model the "tube" must have been cut as well, otherwise it is pain in the arse to break it down.

He pulled out his little tape measure and recalculated and also reapraised at , $2000.

They, Cabelas, pay 70% cash $1400. On the spot now. This brings me back to the original topic, to sell a gun. I need some dough and I need it soon .

and we can't forget Bob's cut
