sorry if I come across as a raging Ahole and I know that you are not the one advertizing but are these guys complete idiots? I saw the word consecutive serials so many times I had to stop counting and yet the auction is for a single rifle.... when people want consecutive serial numbers they usually want more than one rifle. it is impossible to buy a single rifle with a consecutive serial number.... they are just throwing out flashy wording on a post war rifle with no historical value and hoping to get as much profit as possible. I see now that there is 1 bid, at $200 which is not entirely unreasonable and still did not meet reserve...

I'm thinking someone's hinky here.
