Type 88 Sniper

[Claven2]

Yikes - no STANAG mags = no purchase by me. For $3000 and being Chinese, it had better take 10 round pistol mags. YMMV.

$3000 for any norinco is hefty.. id sooner spring for an sl8 prbly get tighter groups too

[serapeum]

3k.. not a chance. I could see this gun selling for $1k under the RFB pricetag.. until then...

BUT they are also rare.. so this has to be taken into consideration

The Benelli MR1's were rare too and going for over 2000; brand new, they're going for under 1700 now just two years later.

Please do not say the MR1 is rare.. it is not! It's readily available over-the-counter at a number of retailers, easily imported, crafted for the civilian market, and mass produced. The cost is lowered because it doesn't sell. Even in the US, the last 50 or so on Gun Broker have been under $1000 BNIB.

Type 88 and MR1 are not even in the same ballpark when it comes to availability and rarity.

Apples and oranges...

love mine, shoots great well made rifle. very glad i sprang for it

[2sec]

if it is asking for $3,000 it'd better not named a "Norinco", call it something else. like an expensive Toyota car would call itself a "Lexus"....
anyways, does it have a picatinny rail?

Has anyone actually bought one of these? I know there are some that claim they have, I just find it hard to believe they haven't posted a single pic or a review.....

I love mine shoots great, will eat anything i put through it.

$3K and it still needs a shell deflector and firing pin spring?

This is an $800 item at most anything more is a waste.

At $3000 we are being taken to the cleaners. Someone is trying to take advantage of us
