I do not know how to post pix yet but I will some day.
Anyway, I bought this Military Style Rifle in an auction. I have no idea what caliber or who manufactured it. Neither did they. Is it worth the $130+ I paid for it? Any help experts??? :-)[?][?][?]

    When you add the 15% Buyer's Premium of $19.50 plus handling (which is probably another $20 or so), shipping & insurance ($25-$40) and transfer fees ($25-$50)as they only ship to FFL dealers, you're going to have a lot of money tied up in a non-collectible wall-hanger.

    Should've bought a Mosin Nagant from GB ;) but I would suggest doing some research next time before buying a firearm

    You are both right. It was a stupid spur of the moment that I bid. I have learned an expensive lesson. Thanks.

    Ps. Strange looking buzzardized rifle for sale. Great dust collector.

    Believe me, we've all been there. The excitement of the auction and the natural desire to "win" is what makes them so successful. [;)]

    Don't sweat it.

    If you aren't happy with it, list it on GB. You may even make money on it.

    Thanks guys for the encouragement [:p]
    I still do not know the caliber of this fantastic weapon machine. [:(]
    I will entertain anything but the almighty super expensive 22 long rifle ammunition that only the very rich and our fabulous, fantastic, federal friends in the US government can afford except if adding to the fast and furious fiasco founded by the obamasama and holder regime. [:(!]
    I hope they do not sell all the M-4s and buy 10/22s for down-sizing our great military.
