DJ's is a great store and Bruce is a wealth of knowledge.

Hey Bill - got a pile of cash after selling my drift boat.

Any news on that HK yet?

HK says late 2009 for release which realistically translates into mid 2010 if lucky. LWRC and Sig among others are producing the same product (gas piston driven AR).

The bottom fell out of "black rifles" so I'm not surprised about the deals from CMMG. Speculation and fear drove that market crazy for a few months but when the weekend warriors couldn't afford to shoot their stock $1500 Olympic Arms .223 they decided to sell....and at a considerable loss. Ammo is still over-inflated and spotty but that too will smooth out soon.

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

Chasbo, I love the old Winnie's. Here's a link that might offer some more information.

The Cody Forearms Museum might be able to help dispel any rumors about the factory condition/options that your rifle was outfitted with.

Good luck, and I wish I had the disposable income to justify your fine rifle.
