I have many .22 rifles, that isn't a worry. I got this rifle from the same guy a few years ago in another trade. I can't remember what I traded him but it wasn't anything special.

I do have a M1917 and Ross that this would look nice next to

If it's a non shooter then you are trading a working rifle for a wall hanger, if it's nice with a good bore, then go for it if it's something you want.

	Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me. "idiot proof" is an irresistible challenge to some.

bubbagumpshrimp Member Joined Jul 2017 Posts 485 EE Offline VA, USA	Posted: 8/23/2017 7:21:27 AM EST Do it. I've regretted passing up on classic guns along the way. .22 clones (a buddy offered me a deal on a GSG MP5 .22 clone)...not so much.

	I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me and say "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.
