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.
