Over-sell Much?

K31 · May 24, 2013

Do yourself a favor and read the description/sales job on this "collectors item"
carbine (sic) before you look at the pictures.

Krag lovers may want to not go here. You were warned.

Somebody likes their intoxicants. Wow.

I like turtles!

That turtle looks it's nesting or something.

If I buy it now for $1200, do I get the boat and the turtle too?

You do, but then you also lose all sense of grammar (probably from using the turtle too much).

I think it might be laying eggs?

Why do the words, "scum bucket" come to mind? Clearly the woman in the boat isn't selling anything to afford food ... or maybe she is, come to think of it. The seller may need money for meds, though.

On a somewhat different note, it drives me up a wall to see someone puffing what was once a nice C&R piece, trying to make it sound wonderful, rare, and more valuable because it was sporterized!

Take a look at everything else he has for sale. Truly the House that Bubba Built, the Island of Misfit C&Rs. Esp like the 03A3 that looks to have been mated with a M1 Carbine. Then I ran across the Norwegian M1914 pistol and my heart skipped a beat until I saw that someone had enhanced it with pimp grips, which certainly justifies the well above market asking price. Besides it's a Colt because it came with an original US M1911 holster. So sad.

Mawkie,your right, that 03a3 is something, a 300.00 rifle with a 1000.00 starting bid, makes no mention of what a bubba job it is.

But but but, it's in unissued condition. I heard those '03a3 carbines were quite rare, don't ya know. :lol2:

That is a well worn cut rifle, plain and simple. Its worth $300 tops.
I did have to zoom in on the rear sightin case it was a '96 carbine sight- it wasn't.

BTW- its serial number makes it an antique; no FFL required at all.
