I just noticed that there's a Ross nose band on ebay. Id bid on it but my barrel has been cut to 26 3/4".

Just took the bid to $110 but it was still not enough. Someone must have won a lottery (other than the seller).

The seller is on here and is a decent guy. He definitely hit the lottery though!

since theres a plan to make modern copies of the nose band and the price will be about 100$ if the project HAPPENS .............110 OR 120 FOR A ORIGINAL is pricy but if you got big pockets why not .

 

[NB.nagantsniper]

he also had up a complete stock and hand guard as well plus thesites, a magazine assembly and middle band

And the rest of the stuff on there is the stuff I had posted in the EE that didn't sell right away.

He did very well on his stock and Handguard. It is sad that these old girls are worth more for their parts than as complete specimens. Maybe it is a sign of things to come for the value of originals?

Has there been any more 'official' word on the reproduction nose caps? I think at $100 each I would buy a few, maybe as many as ten.

I need anywhere from 4 to 7, depending on what I do with this rack of Bubba's handiwork.

Between you and I Smellie that's 14-17, add the other two fellows who posted here and that's nearly 20. Somebody needs to step up and get this done!

was told in the other related thread -------------mid june is when there will be more news on the project. i most likely would want 2 nose bands me-self.

 

[flying pig]

Mid June should work out well. I'll be in need of some by then.

 

[Rdrash]

Holy moly its $175. I didn't think it would go that high.

 

[NB.nagantsniper]

i was going to bid .............but the ross im restoring cost only a few $$ more than that ............ill wait and hopefully get the repro one if the project bears fruit ..............or make my own if needed / plan B

 

[flying pig]

It's going to go much higher than that if the front sight/hood/base is any indication. $162 was its final tally.

 

[flying pig]

$220! Does $100 or even $150 for a repro seem so bad now? Lol

 

[kayceel]

A VERY impressive total for all the bits sold but after eBay and (FRAUD ALERT)'s ripoff fees what percentage will be left? ( I've never bought or sold on eBay since (FRAUD ALERT) became the ONLY payment method allowed!) kayceel

 

[NB.nagantsniper]

ebay an pay pal fees eat a little he still gets a dam good payment for the part he sold ................

 

[flying pig]

The stock I sold went for $280 plus $25 for shipping for a $305 total. After fees I was left with $295 to cover shipping and my total so I should end up with $270 I think.

then there are the fees (or cut) they take when you try and take your money out. And the real joke is the 'exchange' rates they give you ! I've sold 100's of items on eBay and after fee's, and the points they shave off on the exchange rate, their cut ends up about 25% when you finally, actually get the money into your account!

Exactly, which is why I can't bearing selling on ebay anymore.

The only good thing is the USD has become more valuable once again, when it was par it was much less attractive. That does ease the bite.
