Should I buy

Post by cjo1971 »

So I see my lgs has about 50 - 91/30s. A few hex, one is an Izhevsk ex dragoon. Also have about two ex snipers. All priced 169. Anything I should look for on the ex snipers that sound the alarm to buy?

If they are older then PU snipers I like them but not sure any marks are better or not. Maybe a DDR one. :thumbsup: Tula snipers are marked at the top. Some MO are snipers.,.. Feel them out and if it calls to you then buy it. :thumbsup:

Asking this group of enablers that question, is like asking your drug dealer if you should use more...lol ...

The bottom line is, can you afford it, and do you want it?? The price is in line with the times, so really its a personal do you want it question.

Buy them all, they are refurbs, no specific alarm bells.
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.

Don't know that any spoke to me but there was one that had serious striping that I don't see very much. May stop and get it.

It might have been whispering but sounds like it was still speaking to you a bit :D

Oh it's talking to you, it may just be whispering but it's talking.

Guns with tiger striping don't usually stick around while you decide. The next guy probably bought it.

If you are thinking of buying more than one, you may consider asking for a package deal. Worst he could say is no.
