Well, I’m certainly confused…..??
Why, if only the serial number is wanted for a database why would you pay anything at all? Just get a picture and call it a day. Even a Cossack or similar unique unicorn in relic condition can be acknowledged as having once existed. Twenty seven legitimate posts in and still….. Is something missing here…or is it just my OCD meddling with me like usual?🧐

I had no idea that this post was going to blow up dang...I just bothered to check and it is a training rifle, if you look at my account it might make more sense. Only a few hundred were imported and knowing the numbers allows me to track and bring together several parts or full rifles. Unfortunately they refused to take a picture and said they couldn't read the stamped numbers on the rear of the bolt. So I tried to buy it just to take 10 seconds to scrub it off and get the data I need.

It's been a useful database so far I have organized the change of parts for 12 mags or bolts to their original rifles and even managed to get 2 rifles back to matching. It's a shame I won't know what this rifle and its parts were.

Well slap my momma, I get it now. Here you are, apparently being a gentleman about being snubbed in a straight up simple seeming request for five minutes of the “sellers” time and willing to pay for it. Therein, my confusion explained. Myself, and most all of the Gunboards community, would most certainly tried for a simple picture at the very least. I would have given that poor relic to you for cost of shipping if it would help a guy out but the “Rules” thing is certainly to be considered. The unexpected unexplainable obstinacy in a random encounter with someone is best handled by backing off slowly……at the ready….head on a swivel….
