PhysDoc, notwithstanding the reblue, if the bore is excellent that rifle @ $219 plus the various auctioneer charges may just end up being the very biggest steal of 2009. IMO it is worth several times that price. This summer I hit on a double heat treated Sporter at a Pennsylvania show, the action and original stock still about mint, but with a 1903A3 barrel. I cheerfully coughed up 1g for it and thought it a bargain.
