Tried to buy the Super 14 in Hornet from an old man, it was attached to a gen 1 frame and a pos scope. I offered him $250 for the barrel and he declined and pointed to the $950.00 tag on it. I giggled and kept steppin.
Yeah, she likes Hortons. I put my new to me bbl on my stainless frame. Bbl is oldie, has a single pc lug. My Ingram 22 mag bbl does too and works fine on newer frame.
I Never look for commonly available used guns at Tipton or any other show. I did 40 years ago when dad started taking me to them. I have my common guns. Those days are gone as anyone can order from bud’s gun shop and have them shipped to an FFL. Let those guys pack em and stack em. The ammo smugglers also. Back in the days before the internet you had to buy gun digest for that year to see what was available new. Order it from a local dealer or find it at a show. That is why you see fewer of the gun show only dealers anymore. 30 years ago they did not haggle much on price either but moved a lot more items. Your choices were not unlimited. Now you can cruse a gun site offering everything for sale is all 50 states in your underwear on the back porch.
