I would like to see you get it a little cheaper myself... OR... see if he is willing to give you a "starter" kit. If you are new to ML and are on a budget then nickles and dimes will go out the window just buying all the stuff initially to get to where you can shoot the gun. Get the seller to throw in bullets/sabots, powder, ignition primers, cleaning patches, etc. get all you can get. THEN it would be a good deal in my opinion.
