I need some feedback guys. I recently won a bid on GB for a 99 30-30 salesman sample.

When it arrived I discovered it was not in quite as good a condition as the seller made out. Butt plate is not original and dime size gouge behind the tang but no crack. sick:( Oh yeah, stock and forearm have been sanded on some also.

Bluing IS nice and it seems tight although I haven't shot it yet.

I knew it was D&T when I bought it so I know it'll never be true "collector" but is it worth anything like the $800+ I paid for it in you guys opinion.

Thanks for honest opinions and my flame suit is on.

Don't fire unless fired upon. But if they want a war let it begin here.
