Ever win a gun for a penny or crazy cheap

I must be lucky(although I doubt many people spend as much time as I do on the auction side).
Just won this gun for $0.26 today, well $20.26 after shipping[:D]. Sure it's a junker but I bet the seller never thought it would be that cheap.

One other time I won 5 misc receivers for $0.01. Sold them on here for $40 about a year later.
Lucky I am[:)]

Have fun, don't put your eye out.
Do you have a bolt for it?
Can you get a bolt for it????

No, I looked on here but I didn't see any for sale.
I will probably just sell it in the store for $50 or something, cheap guns usually disappear in a day or so. One of my customers that hits gun shows alot will probably buy it, gives them something to look for.
Canadian lakefields have some parts commonality and interchangeability with savage models...

In the mid-70s I won a Remington model 700 ADL 30-06 on a brand-new punchboard after punching 10 punches out. I was sitting at a caf? drinking a cup of coffee and gave them $10 to pull 10 punches... To say the very least, he was not a happy camper. He asked me if I would leave it there, so that he could trick other people into buying more punches off that punchboard, he even offered me $50 when I told him no. But what's fair is fair and I walked out of there with the rifle in my hands. I wasn't going to help Him defraud others into customers thinking that they had a chance at it when I had already won it
I guess punch boards are different now. The winning number is under a seal and it's kept hidden until all chances have been sold.

I did something somewhat similar back in the 70's too, I stopped at a old country store with several men hanging around inside shooting the breeze with the clerk and on the counter was a punchboard almost punched completely out...prize was a Remington 1100. I asked the clerk if anyone had won the 1100 yet and he said no, a quick glance and I saw @ 25 punches left intact but it was actually 31, told him I wanted all the punches left [:D]....for $31 I walked out with a new Remington 1100 but the real prize was the faces of all the bystanders looking lot like this [:0][:0][:0][:0][:0][:0][:0]

Yep they were kicking themselves in the rear and for not being smart enough to do what you did

That's a good thing that they have changed it. like I said the proprietor wanted to offer me $50 to leave it up to goat people into wasting their money trying to win something that they could not win because I already did
I had bid $23 for a 5 gallon Red Wing crock by auction number.
Turns out the auctioneer had trouble matching numbers of items to bids, and my Red Wing crock turned out to be a lot containing several .22 barrels, a torched Sten receiver, a half box of 220 Swift ammo, and a barreled receiver for a L1A1.
When my FFL buddy called & said there was some paperwork that needed filled out; I was curious why there would be paperwork on a crock.
I got to his shop & saw the crock (he had bid on a mis-matched lot as well), and thought it had to be a joke.
His lot turned out NOT to be just the crock, but an antique glass butter churn, some Sterling silverware, and a couple of Toby mugs. Instead of the REM 11/87 he had bid on.
We both made out like fat kids in a Birthday Cake store!
