I found one today - asking price was $140.
I have read nothing but good things about the 5-teen series. It looks like the perfect small game gun and training rifle.
Action is smooth, trigger crisp, bore is clean.
Stock finish shiny, wood has the usual nicks one would expect to find on a rifle of this vintage, buttplate is likely original and has a chunk missing on the upper end.
Bluing is worn to a brown patina on the barrel in places - I would say maybe a 60/40 ratio of blue to brown - not sure how this factors into the Blue Book PPG system as I don't have a copy handy right now - I am guessing somewhere around 70-80% overall.
It comes with one factory magazine that sits flush with the stock - so I'm guessing it is a 5 or 6 round mag. The rear sight is missing the adjustment ramp.
I am not sure as to date of manufacture as I forgot to write down the 3-digit code.
So - should I race back there ASAP cash in hand or try to knock down the price a bit? I have not yet found a price for the adustment ramp.
Thanks!
