Don't know. Sometimes you get good things for low prices, but most of the time you get what you pay for.

I don't know but I would be tempted to buy it just because it's cheap. If its a shooter it would be fun or would be convenient to lend to a buddy to shoot with you. If everything works it now what could go wrong? It has no wheels and no strings crisscrossing back and forth. I think it's cheap for something to goof off with...if it works. It looks like an old Barnet but then what do I know?

A lot depends on how well it's constructed , if it's typical of the cheap Chinese made crossbows on the market then it's "serviceable" at best .
