• Hey All! Lately there has been more and more scammers on the forum board. They register and replies to members requests for guns and/or parts or other things. The reply contains a gmail or hotmail address or similar ”anonymous” email addresses which they want you to reply to. DO NOT ANSWER ANY STRANGE MESSAGES! They often state something like this: ”Hello! Saw your post about purchasing a stock for a Safari. KnuckleheadBob has one. Email him at: [email protected]” If you receive any strange messages: Check the status of whoever message you. If they have no posts and signed up the same day or very recently, stay away. Same goes for other members they might refer to. Check them too and if they are long standing members, PM them and ask if the message is legit. Most likely it’s not. Then use the report function in each message or post so I can kick them out! Beware of anything that might seem fishy! And again, for all of you who registered your personal name as username, please contact me so I can change it to a more anonymous username. You’d be surprised of how much one can find out about a person from just a username on a forum such ad our! All the best! And be safe! Jim

I am trying to date and find approximate value of my L461 heavy barrel in .223 cal. It is overall 95%-98% Ser# 242xx. Has on left side of receiver; L461 No1. Has been sighted in, less than 20 rnds fired.
It is a Garcia import. Please help if you can. Thanks
 
Hi Goldie -

Imagine your s/n is actually 1242xx - not unusual for spacing on numerals to be off a little. Imagine your rifle was probably made around mid-72. Pretty hard to establish value without some good photos, but based on your verbal description $850 might be a mid value. Besides precise condition much depends on the wood's character, whether or not it is a M-72 version and so forth. Many threads here for you to go through for additional info.

Welcome, Dick
