okay, any other opinions, how high should i go? i was going to offer 400$ cash it does have a 80$ trigger and quite a bit of accurizing work done to it, please respond, i think i'm gonna go grab it this afternoon, should i start lower than 400 or would that be an insult?
Ask the guy if he has a bore light, or take one with you. Look down the barrel using the light. If everything looks good, no pitting, and the lands and grooves look sharp and in good condition, offer him whatever you feel like. (you obviously want the gun). Now, if those lands and grooves aren't sharp, or they seem to disappear the closer to the action that they get, then I'd either pass, or start around 350.00 explaining that it's going to need a new barrel soon.
