Niner wrote:$400 for a No. 4 is high too. Even in todays market you can get them for less by shopping around. SOG , for instance is offering No. 4's in "good to very good condition" For $189. But you would need a firearms license or get a dealer to transfer it for you. I think Century did have some too for about the same kind of price.....and these are working models not the $79 drill purpose MKIII's that are also around.
Now what you are looking at seems to have an above average condition stock and I don't see any Ishaphore screw. No DP marks. Do you see any import mark on it? No import will mean it has been in the country for a while and no import mark is worth a few extra dollars.
Try a few pawn shops in your town. See what they have. But it's your money and if you are happy with the deal that is all that counts. And....prices will be different in different parts of the country I'd imagine.
There were no import marks on it -- no CAI or anything. The pictures I took are every mark that's on it, unless there are some under the stocks. Our pawn shops here don't have firearms. WI law. I've been to all the firearms shows around here, and $400-500 is pretty much going price for a N0. 4 in good condition. I've seen cheaper, but they were pretty rough. Once I did see one at a local chain store for $250.
Honestly, though, this is the first N01 that I have seen around in over a year, maybe 2 years.
