And thoughtfulness. Good to see it still exists.

Impressive kindness.

Beautiful. Happiness is a sale where both parties are pleased.

Be nice. Mosins have survived a long time. King of Findland won an Olympics with one, I believe. Hex receivered Mosin.

Yes

Mule, not mile.

Hex to me $225 maybe $250 with matching numbers. Others may pay as high as $400. Your gun. Kick like a mile. Fist time I shot one I didn't hold it tight to my shoulder. Nice bruise for awhile.

Hex more desirable. Sporterization hurts depending on how much. Bayonets plentiful and cheap. Matching numbers a plus.

Back 20 years ago they were $50 to $75 all day long. I like them but you have to be careful with closing the bolt with ammo feeding correctly. If you rush or slam the bolt shut, on rare occasion, the bolt can hit the primer if the round is jammed at an angle. Brass casing pieces fly out of the receiver, bolt is slammed backwards breaking the bolt, magazine blown and stretched, and stock typically cracks. Receiver and barrel do not typically get hurt. One guy had it by his stomach when he quick slammed the bolt open and then closed, but not. He had to have emergency surgery to remove the brass and repair his belly area, stomach and intestines, etc. Lucky to be alive. I saw the gun and have pictures of it saved some where. The brass was the clue that it never entered into the chamber very much. Theoretically, I guess it could occur with other Mauser style actions. Hope this helps.

Hex receiver worth more than round. I'll give $175 to $200 depending on condition and if it is original, not sporterized. Truthfully, there were a bunch that were recently imported and they were asking around $325 and up. Cabela's has some in kind of rough condition and they are asking for your first born, around $400. Search internet for current sales, not asking, including GunB.....

Looks very nice. How does Sitka compare with Badlands?

Looks like fun! Better to keep it until AR prices rebound, when you can. Congrats on the successful build!

Nice.

Norma, not Hornaday.

Thanks for the education. So this is the 6.5-284 Hornaday wildcat round. Do you have the dies for reloading it?

Jealous

Handy. Looks nice. I wish it was the stainless model. But that won't change it.

Great seller. Arrived on time and gun better than described. Honest without reproach. Thank you!

Not huge, but isn't the 6.5 equivalent a 260, and the 284 equivalent to a 7mm?

Very clean for it's age. I think it's older than most of us on this site. Truth about guns places manufacture of I J's Champion between 1909 and 1957.https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/iver-johnson-whats-serial-number/. The gun may have originally sold for about $21.75. Your gun is in better shape than I am! Don't you love the internet?

I just woke up. Gee, I guess 16" stainless means 16" stainless.

Is the barrel 16" or longer, or a pistol length?

Contacted seller. Buying pending meeting up. Too pretty to pass up.

Pretty much two guns for the price of one discounted. Merry Christmas, or Holidays, very nice gift.
