1. It is not unfair, provided the gun is in good shape and working condition.

I think its a fair price according to what is the going price on gunbroker. Prices are so gouged on those things, but that's under the norm. I felt like I stole my LT20 when I fell on it for $425 at a gun show last winter.

I didnt even haggle with him.

 

Thanks for the info Tujays and Tim. I went to look it over again this afternoon. May pull the trigger on the deal tomorrow.

I have never seen an LW 20 with an issue. But, according to Wayne Leek they did redesign it into the LT 20 because of problems, therefore I would not say the durability is equal to the LT 20. I would say the value is slightly less than an LT 20.
Did you look close at the barrel tang? During the transition some marked LW were 99% LT.

 

I just finished a thorough cleaning of my friend's old LW 20. It has wear on every internal part. He bought it used with no history of it and it has been shot A LOT. It has functioned perfectly since the day he got it about three years ago. I have never seen a semi-auto so worn or function any better! They have very light felt recoil, too.

 

I picked one up a few years ago that came with plain mahogany stocks. After lurking on Numrich long enough, I acquired a fancy factory stock set for it and tell people it's a custom shop job! I have to say the original stock set was very light. I've not had any functioning problems with mine, and I even found a LW magnum barrel to use on the occasional turkey.
