So I've wanted a A5 for some time now. I walk into a pawnshop today looking for gag-gifts. My eye goes to an old well worn A5 sitting in the gun rack. I don't get excited...then I see it has a rib AND is marked at $195! I get excited.
Turns out it is a Remington 11. Its is well used and will need a new stock (I will probably get a new forend also...mismatched wood doesn't do it for me.) On a very quick look over I didn't see any piting or gouges in the metal. I get the impression this was some old-timers gun that used it ALOT but took care of it and now the old timer is gone and so is its home.
12gauge, with the "funky" safety (which is great for a lefty like me) Is this a fair price for something that I'll need to restock? I'll likely buy a bare wood and finish it myself.
