$1299 is crazy. For that money I want the Nazi who had that rifle to hand it to me. LOL.

I picked up a yugo scrub k98 the other day for 275. Cleaned it up, it is plenty nice enough for me. Nothing really is matching, but it is a good looking laminate stock with the latter cup butt stock. Other than the scrubbed areas the blueing is fantastic. The bore even looks better than my m48. Action is better to. There is no way I would give 7 or 8 hundred for what it's effectively the same thing to me? I would rather spend money like that on another garand or 1903
Could be worse some people buy "Mitchells Mausers" thinking they are worth the money.
Classic's asking prices never cease to amaze me. Even more amazing is that they are apparently getting them...
Or maybe they are pulling them from inventory after a day or two, only to repeat the same sale a year from now with even higher prices? That actually would make some sense, so long as they liquidate a portion of their inventory each time they do this.

Their vids are terrible. Filmed with an iphone and edited in about 15 mins. LOL.
Hey I will give them credit in that the cracked m39 I got the other day from them, good price and the crack is not a big deal at all. But then again I may have just got lucky. Also I got a k31 on that last deal from them that was mint, but two of my buddies didn't fare as well. If the price is low enough it seems like it can be worth the gamble, but this k98 deal isn't remotely a low enough price even in today's market. You can get better deals on dare I say it...gun broker. And there you know the exact rifle you are getting too
You can order a refinished GARAND from the CMP for $830 and shoot the crap out of it for the next 100 years.
