Chinese T53s

[Mule]

I know, it's an M44 copy.....

But, is a T53 in "fair" condition worth $49.00 shipped?
I have never come across one before and figured it was worth having. M44s have never really turned my crank, too many of them out there and the one I had had an issue w/ head space. Bad taste in my mouth too fast, so I got rid of it.
thanks

If I could inspect it before hand and found it acceptable I would consider $49 for a working rifle a score.

If it's something I found online and couldn't inspect it I may still take a chance on it. Lord knows I know plenty of other ways to p*** away $50. [wink]

Guys on some other boards say they are usually good for tomato stakes. I'm going to pass on this unless I see one at a show.

Although, I did get one heck of a nice GEW 88, with a brand spankin new barrel. 116 yr old rifle with a new barrel from the original armory, talk about luck.
