I do know the actions are worth quite a bit , and it is a custom. With that said ..... been looking these up all over and have yet to see one go under $900 . Seen several actions sell over $600 . I was told that the regular bottom metal was magnetic and the FW was not , possibly aluminum? Not sure , just know it's not magnetic.
PS . The $900 rifle was in rough condition . Bolt had been ground , reblued twice and a large amount of surface rust . Personally I wouldn't have picked it up until I started piecing together the cost of components to build one. So , if I can't get a straight sale I'll break it down and sell the pieces. Anybody see what pre 64 bottom metal goes for lately ? I've found some older listing and it's not cheap either .
