Title: Prices out of control Post by psteinmayer on Jun 23rd, 2019 at 1:07am
I was at Cabela's in Dundee, MI today. They had two Krags in the library. Both 1898s.
The first one had a pretty decent stock and finish. Rear sight was an 1896. It had the cleaning rods and oiler in the trap, and a muzzle cover. The bore looked ok and decent rifling. S/N in the 12X,XXX range, and a 1898 cartouche. The second had an ok stock, but not as nice as the first. Rear sight was a 1902 with a modified (ground) 1898 eye piece that someone had further filed out the center notch to a pronounced V. It had the cleaning rods and oiler in the trap. The bore was very dirty and dark, but the rifling was sharp. S/N in the 32X,XXX range and a 1902 cartouche. Now here's what pissed me off about them? The first was priced at $2,100 and change, and the second was priced at $1,800 and change! WAYYYYYYYYY overpriced in my humble opinion!!! What the hell are people thinking? I told the guy in there that I thought they were way too high priced... not that he cared. |
