What is a good price?

Also no

Guys I need your help, I'm in the gun shop now negotiating .

Keep in mind anons it is the
> current year
So prices are rising on everything.

Would 400 be reasonable?

>>31005901
only if you really want a .30-40 consider ammo coast as well. shit ain't cheap

id buy it just to have. $400 seems ok if its in good condition. krag action is smooth as fuck, id buy it and just work the bolt all the time just for the feel.

>>31005964
Not too worried about ammo costs.
I really like the action and how it works and since I don't own one I'm interested in purchasing this.

I'm just wondering if 400-450 is way too much. There aren't any scope holes or anything. Has original sights too, it's just got the cut down stock.

>>31005901
Try to negotiate down to 250ish, don't be afraid to walk away because there is little reason to pay more on impulse.

>>31005985
Maybe... check gunbroker for price of unsure.

>>31005733
Tell them that it being sporterized has ruined it's value (which it has), pay 300 or 350 max, then restore it.

>>31005733
No
>>31005746
$150. It's a sporter. The only value it had was stripped away by bubba.

No.

I've seen unbubba'd examples go for $5-600 in the past few years.

Well I got it for 300.
317 with the background check.
I'm happy with how much I got off the asking price.

Here's a pic

DELET THIS

>>31006527
You did good. Now go check the headspace

>>31006717
How does one do that?

>>31006789
Nigger, are you serious? You ALWAYS check the headspace on milsurp rifles.

>>31006822
How do I do this!?

>>31006845
take it to a gunsmith or get some go and no go gauges

>>31006845
http://www.brownells.com/search/index.htm?k=krag+gauge&ksubmit=y

go gauge should fit
no-go gauge shouldn't fit

>>31006872
Can't I just try to fire it? Or can I use something in my house

>>31006886
Yes go fire it. Post pics of the aftermath plz

>>31006886
>Or can I use something in my house
do you have krag ammo and calipers or a large micrometer?

>>31006886
Well, I mean sure you can just see if it will fire, but you're risking the thing blowing up

>>31006895
>>31006897
>>31006908
My lgs didn't have any ammo in stock.
Could I somehow use a cleaning rod to measure

>>31006979
No, just read up on what headspacing is and why it's important.

>buying anything sporterized for anywhere close to the value of the unmolested version

>>31006979
do you have a lathe accurate to 0.0001ish?

You could make your own go nogo gauges.


>>31007002
>Giving a shit about a stock and barrel band.

>>31005964
Or easy to find. Seriously, try to find some. I have brass for it that I protect with a 30-40 krag.

>>31007024
In fact I do. But it's all up on base and I'm a weekend warrior. When I go up next month I could make some

>>31007057
Remeber to mark the go and nogo sensibly.
Like one recessed band on go and two recessed bands on nogo.

>>31007057
>>31007086
Also that the go is above min spec and no-go is above max spec.

>>31007086
Can I make these for any caliber?
I have a bunch of older guns (read 5 or 6) and now I'm just curious.

>>31007116

>>31007116
Sorry, I realized I may have been wrong. I'm not sure if go is supposed to be at or above min spec.

>>31007136
I had no idea a website like this existed

>>31007150
Man I really need to brush up on interpreting blueprints. We don't use the lathe a lot. It's mainly the mill and welders.

>>31006845
Tape three pieces of tape to the end of a cartridge. If it closes don't shoot.

>>31007216
Electrical tape?

>>31006527
300 ain't bad. Might just need stock pieces to look original again, but stock pieces (original and repro) are spendy.

>$450 for a sporterized version of a gun that shoots a round that can only be reliably had if you reload
>Oh yeah, and said gun is now almost entirely seen in a sporterized configuration these days
Fuck no that's not a good price.

>>31005746
About $225

>>31007298
Good Masking tape

>>31007388
Okay I'll try that when I eventually find some ammo
