Went to my local Cabelas the other day and they had this 91/30 on clearance for $150. Rifle has a cracked stock but for the price I figured it'd be an easy fix and a fun project. I used a coupon and gift card and it cost me $127 to take it home.
 Attached File Attached FileSo I get it home and start to take off the stock so I can get started on it, that's when the fun begins.  Attached File Attached File...and the rifle would probably be a good shooter too  Attached FileLong story short the manager agreed to take it back and put the purchase price on a gift card. I posted about this in GD https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/I-bought-a-91-30-on-clearance-from-Cabelas-then-I-got-it-home-and-out-of-the-stock-update-in-OP-/5-2174025/ ...and this post made me wonder if they're all like this Quoted: The batch of 91/30's Cabelas got recently last 6 months or more are pretty bad, refurbs that got wet from poor storage. Exporter half-ass'd cleaned some literally wire wheeling the outside of rifle including wood to remove surface rust on recvr , sling escutcheons and buttplate-bands. |

You got a steal. The ones at the store I go to are $400 and are sewer pipes.

The bullet goes in the barrel because it is counterbored, almost every one of them is. The rifle is rough to say the least, but can be saved.

At the end of Nov. 2018 I went into Cabelas in Tualatin, OR and found these. Starting at $349. Some were $399.
They were in rougher shape vs. the lots from a few years ago, with visible rust on some. And, some were counterbored. There were about 50 rifles in total (two were hex receivers). Aloha, Mark PS.....CLEARANCE at $150. Hummm......I guess there was a reason for the low price.

I was really tempted to pick one up for $150 when I was at Cabelas a little while ago just for the parts. They had 2 at $150, and 1 at $199 that was slightly better shape. They had several at $350 and I just laughed and passed them by... expect I did look at an absolutely gorgeous 1939 Tula refurb. That stock was truly pristine, which is what caught my eye, and the bluing looked brand new. The bolt serials were ground off and never renumbered and the rest of the parts were EP'd. It wasnt worth anywhere near what they were asking, but it was a looker for sure.

I would have bought it for $125ish, but strictly to have as a wall hanger. If I went to buy a shootable rifle, and got that, I'd be pissed.

Friend of mine bought a Winchester 250(lever action .22 similar to a 190) recently. Finally took it out to try it and not only does the trigger NOT function, the safety button comes right out of the triggerguard. Of course, he couldn't try the trigger before buying. |

Getting to know my local guys has paid off greatly for me. |
