Yeah, FF does seem to be bringing some (a) really good stuff to the table (b) very good prices for his consignors. And much better photos than the other "blanket"
He's been on my watch list for a while...
You did well getting that Winchester out of him for that price I think.
... I'm trying to figure out condition on the Saddle Ring. I was thinking maybe 70%?
Tough to judge from the pics but receiver & buttplate looks like finish is completely worn off to a smooth "patina", barrel and mag tube still have blue but worn thin esp close to receiver (OK, looked at description and that's what it says too). Wood looks good though. I'm not much of a rifle guy but I think this one depends on the mechanical condition and and how tight/smooth the action is, bore, etc. It doesn't look abused, just well-loved. I bet it's a good one when you get it in hand. Anyway, purely speculative but condition looks more like 40-50% on finish. Doesn't mean it falls in Blue Book value for that. If it's right & tight it's the perfect little carbine, shoot it and don't worry about it.
26 days? is that about how long between when you order and it hitting your card/shipping?
That was a $300 one? Nice buy! God damn, I'd been on one of those like stink on Frosh.
I think it took 20 days for the charge to show up on my card, then a few days after that I got the shipping notice.
So all this talk of a slow Samco is poo. UPS tried to deliver my unissued K-31 today. I ordered it last week.

If you set up the my ups account it will actually notify you I an incoming shipment even if you did not get a tracking number.Hey, they never notified me that it shipped. I was expecting a month. I've got it redirected to my local UPS facility where the woman knows me by sight (and thinks I'm pretty hot, and I don't blame her a bit).

When you set it up make sure you put all the possible variations of your name. It won't work 100% of the time but id say at least 80%
SXS, thats a beautiful drilling, enjoy!
