I'm selling this for a relative, listed on GB. It's a pretty neat carbine, I'm trying these sights out tomorrow.

I remember these, I might have bought one, they were 7.62mm right? That had to be in the 90's, if I bought it then what in hell did I do with it?
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

I had one of those and sold it. I can't remember what it sold for, but sold at a pretty good price. Should get close to $500. They are selling from $500-$800 depending on who is watching/bidding - newbie or non-newbie :)

Curious what that one went for. I figured the pitting and refinished stock would hurt the value, but nothing surprises me right now.

FYI, looks like the rifle is missing its handguard. Apex Gun Parts has them in stock, you could add to increase its value of refer to a potential buyer.
