I don't know why we beat the crap out of each other over gun prices. If a fellow wants one of these carbines, or anything else, and spends his money on it, so what. It's like saying you want a new truck, and a bunch of clowns start pontificating "I bought my truck back when you could get a great truck cheap. I didn't pay but $2600 for my 1973 Chevy Step Side, and it's got a v8 and 4x4"
That observation aside, I have three carbines, and a truck load of ammo, both ball and SP. My Quality Hardware carbine with a red dot makes a great travel rifle. I didn't pay anything for it, as it was a gift from my brother in law.
