Presume this is result of gun being on their FFL "book." I'd never buy under that requirement of having to have it shipped!

But does it apply to private sellers?

Been waiting for a deal like that all my life! At 77, doesn't look too likely now.

And you're right about GB--if you're bidding to win there, prepare to bend over.

Surprising thing is, seller explicitly said stock had been damaged & refinished, which many GB sellers (feigning ignorance) would have said nothing about, & STILL two idiots (at least) went crazy...

Rampant stupidity--not uncommon on GB, but this is one of the more extreme cases I've seen in a long time. A busted & refinished stock, combined with chrome pimping??? Shouldn't be worth worth...

Surprising, since they're undoubtedly scarcer there than here. Unusually nice figure in buttstock.

I frown severely on that coil spring built into the sear which has to be compressed as the bolt is closed, making it feel like the cock-on-closing action of the slow-lock. Thought I could "fix" that...

First 52 I bought was 2nd yr production. Couldn't believe it cocked on closing, esp. because Win. hoped it would be adopted by US Army as a trainer. Tried adapting myself to it, but gave up--just...

That's what I'd have done--they're a distraction in aiming. As useless as a saddle-ring on a carbine. They were first used on Model 54s (rifles, not carbines) in 1925--nobody thought of using them...

True, but it should allow the gun to be bought at a bargain price. Doesn't affect shooting of gun, as long as you don't make it worse by using safety--which there's no reason to do anyway.

If he could find a buyer in Dubai or UAE, cost of shipping wouldn't be an obstacle! I sold a Unertl to a collector in Germany, & he didn't object to the cost either--which included import duty.

It's not a "set." The case is original to the Super Target Spot, but has nothing to do with the other one--is it a #438 Fieldscope? Ever heard of ebay? That's how to find out what they're worth.
