A friend of mine had 1 he bought new about 6 yrs ago.He killed alot of deer with his but unless that ml has been well taken care of an espicially NO rust in the barrel.I could be wrong about the price but i believe he only paid $150.00 for it new.If it shoots the #11 caps it you may still be able to find the 209 conversion for it .Hope this helps.You may want to put that money towards something new...depending on your budget.
