I got a kick out of this one. Some people should NEVER try "do it yourself" jobs ... His grammar is also amusing ...

What he didn't tell was why he took it apart in the first place.
No offer from me unless I needed something off of whats left.
Someone will get that on one the cheep.

We agreed on $30. He will deliver it tomorrow.

As long as it isn't a total pile of rust I will do OK. If not, well I have wasted more money on other things in the past. I think I made a good gamble on this one.

I figure a barrel that I will cut at 18 1/2" for home defense, a stock and fore end that can probably be sold for a few bucks, and possibly a decent trigger group. I do NOT plan to even try to fix it.

Good deal. Just the barrel is a good deal to convert a bird gun to a zombie getter.

Not a gun, but this is the most honest ad I've seen in a while.

Default Got It!

Has 28" Modified Vent Rib barrel. Some minor rust, but no pitting. Will be cutting at 20" just past a pillar support for the rib.

Stock and Fore End in pretty good shape. Few minor dings.

NO trigger group.

I am happy.
