Well, sure, at first glance it might
seem expensive...but you have to consider everything you're getting!
There's a green-handled bayonet––that's worth a cool grand even without the right scabbard.
And that scope is probably worth 3 bills, easy.
And to my eye, that looks like an original sling––could bring a C-note on its own (you know––if you find the right buyer)!
Admittedly, I don't know anything about this "great Colt coffee table book" he refers to (other than that it might have been translated from Japanese to English using babelfish: "These are from first production for special run "?), but hey, let's say that's worth $50.
Run all that through the old calculator, and really, you're only paying $28,549.99 (plus shipping) for the actual rifle!
That sounds a little more reasonable...right?
