Good man Adam, it is good to see a man that knows his priorities. I would say any opportunity to purchase a military weapon is "too good to pass up". If you have the money, get it

If it's an honest to goodness paratrooper, that's not a bad price at all.

Yeah. After you tie the knot and she wants you to sell some of your toys, you can contact your Ohio buddies on G&G to bail you out.

Buy it! That's a very good price! If all else fails, you can always sell it for more later!

I paid $115.00 each back in the early '90's for my NIB Chinese Paratroopers. Unfortunately I sold one 10 years ago for $200.00. Should have kept it---seems I could have quintupled my investment, according to the gunsites.

I dont want to rain on every ones parade but I would not buy it!
its exactly this kind of hystrea and inflated value that will run the price of rifles up to a point we can not afford them anymore ..
THINK ABOUT IT!!
4 months ago the same rifle sold around here for 190 to 200, now are going for 3 to 400
what will happen if there is no ban to the value??
and if there is??wait 3 weeks to a month
