Picked this one up today for $249 from a Gander Mountain store. It was used, but it's hard to tell. They had another for $349.

I had one and dumped it after a few years. Be prepared for a lot of little screws that like to strip.
If you like it go for it but be warned. |

It's a lot of fun and super accurate. However it just doesn't get shot much at all and sits in the safe. That and I have a Zenith Z5P and a POF MP5; so those go out way more often...

Just order the following from Fastenal and you'll be GTG. Don't bother going to Menards, Lowes, Home Depot etc...you'll be wasting your time: (12) - m3 hex nuts (11) - m3 hex head, .50 thread pitch, 12mm long (1) - m3 hex head, .50 thread pitch, 16mm long (2) - m2.5 hex nuts (2) - m2.5 heax head, .45 thread pitch, 12mm long Also, buy a new cocking handle and firing pin. They break. |
