Anyone see the SG carbine in 7MM on Gun Broker? Only $16,300. Another one that is suspect at least to me.

Lots and lots of rare and new in box stuff coming up this April at Rock Island Auction.
I think some of these may even be the same rifles being offered on GB but I could be mistaken.
I like it here. They let me swear.

The big hang up for me is wood that's been "cleaned up". And as much as I love old Winnies, the DuCo laquer wood finish used at the time was not the best. I've got a 270 SG in the box and it has dust nibs and minor sanding scratches in the stock. The finish is so soft that how they've been wiped or cleaned over the years can change what the wood looks like. They get shinier with age and wiping so for me I look for that. The finish on the repro stock on GB wouldn't fool a serious collector.

I have the same problem with the original finish on the Model 70's. The finish is really fragile. I just got done refinishing a .243 FWT and it looks superb. A friend of mine in Montana told me that a lot of the Super Grades were updated from plain Model 70's. The percentage is big and it is real. He bought from his estate numerous pieces that were bought from Win. to upgrade the Model 70's.
