Barrel included? Reweldable condition? Matching numbers? Year of manufacture? I would hazard a guess that you could be looking at a $1000 kit. |

I've been exchanging PM's with him about this kit.
It's a fixed stock T3 kit. Reweldable for sure. Non-matching serials. Counter bored barrel. Wood is decent looking, could refinish nicely. I figure it's worth about $850. The counter bored barrel is the main reason.. that makes it a tough sell to most people since you can't really bullet test the barrel or have any idea if it'll make a good shooter until it's actually a rifle again. |

Yep, the barrel would be a deal killer for me. BTW, have you seen that Type II kit that's on GB ? |

Link? http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=301532702 Basically non-matching with a Type 1 selector. The selector is probably whats driving the price that high. |

If the barrel swallows the entire bullet, its shot out. Of course this won't tell you anything about the throat of the barrel. You can't do this with a counter bored barrel because the muzzle has been drilled out.  |
