[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 2250956, member: 99519"] I want a 223 bolt Remington...found one that a semi-local guy was selling..."not shot much..exvellent condition"....at a high price..if I remember $1000 plus.....so I drove an hour to go check it out...that rifle had been shot so much the face of the bolt was lacking original coloring...can you imagine how many shots to discolor a SS action... "Oh well I have another in the safe but it's been shot less"..bluing gone from bolt face...and I didn't know that "excellent stock" means completely sanded and recovered with extra thick epoxy to cover chips and other damages...and the clear proved it as 'reconditioned' as he forgot to wipe the sanding dust off the stock and it floated over the details.... So yes...there are a bunch of people here that are to make a buck..... I just got lucky enough to be able to handle something..and see the lies ahead of time...... Maybe that stock is a replacement for an otherwise piece of garbage... Feel lucky it is only the clearance... Could have been worse.... [/QUOTE]
