Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

    I have a Savage 110, in 22-250, is not semi-auto.

    Perhaps that one is special. [:D]

    maybe the extra recoil of .243 makes it cycle?[:D]

    Good point! I had not thought of that.

    Perhaps a 300WM would make it go full auto! [:0]

    I had an old bolt action 16 gauge that came equipped with a rubber band to prevent the bolt from "self opening" when fired. I preferred to hold the bolt handle down with my thumb vs. depending on a rotten rubber band. Oh yeah, it didn't have a working safety either so the procedure was to carry with the bolt handle up and push it down and hold to fire.

    "All BUY IT NOW AUCTIONS are FOR SALE in our store locally and we reserve the right to cancel an auction early or cancel a winning auction if the item has been SOLD in our store locally prior to ending the auction on GunBroker."


    Couldn't help but notice that tidbit in the listing.[:I]

    Yes, I thought that after a bid has been placed it can't be withdrawn from the auction. Hey, I have a semi-auto revolver so I'll believe anything!

    As I have said before, they can say that all they want, but when they actually try to do it they will find out that they cannot stop an item with a bid that has met the reserve. If they do not complete an auction they will be kicked off of GunBroker.com (if the Buyer tells us. If it happens and no one tells us, not much I can do.)

    Would this rule apply to this auction considering it is a "buy now" only listing? What if he sells the gun in his store and before he stops the auct., someone hits the buy now.

    He needs to keep a very close eye on the auction here. Once it's bid on here he needs to take it off the rack in his store. A sale here is a legal contract he needs to not violate. If he does, he needs to go as the Capt said.

    How about this current auction for a "semi-auto" Ruger 96/44?
    http://www.GunBroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=549302799

    He describes it as "very rare". I suppose a lever action "semi-auto" would qualify as "very rare". Even after I questioned him about it he has not changed the ad.

    There was a semi auto bolt action rifle in the movie "Anaconda"

    The women kept pulling the trigger firing many rounds without ever working the bolt.

    I don't think you can change the main text after a bid has been placed but he did add this

    That was the main reason I didn't point out that verbiage in the listing. It's Buy Now only so, it's not going anywhere.... unless folks are really dumb.

    Look again. I can go bid on it without hitting buy it now.

    I'll admit someone would have to be an idiot to do that,

    But I digress, people are idiots.

    Edit, I see you acknowledged that already

    I didn't notice the change.(My bad.) That was in response to the E-mail I sent him. His reply was at 3/26/2016 7:32:58 AM "Very rare rifle you shouls [sic] buy it!"

    Yep. I had one years ago. You can turn off the Bang gas system and operate it as a manual bolt action if you want.
    It was a Mauser produced weapon following the military specifications perfectly and was an utter failure.
    Any dirt would foul them and they were eventually transferred to the U-boats after troop trials.
    Mine came out of South America, so it's plauable it came over at the end of the war with Josef Mengele or Adolf Eichmann.[:p]
