All:

I went to a gun show today and found a mint M70 FWT in 243. Aluminum buttplate. Probably mid 1950s. The buttplate had all its black finish. It looked 99.5% new. The guy wanted $1500.

I didn’t get it because I already have one, though not nearly as good. I would say mine is 90%.

Was his price about right, low, high in today’s market? I don’t price these that often.

Thank you
RAS
