I have too, just bought a 71/84 Mauser receiver and parts for restoration. But, the seller has no rating and so who know whether it is ignorance or something worse.Very descriptive Item Description.
I'd presume it's someone who knows nothing at all about the item in question. I've gotten some good deals in that regard on GB, but on the other end of the knowledge bell curve.
(made with badly cast receivers)
The major point was the price for a poorly constructed ersatz rifle. In essence, 5K for a parts rifle.National Ordnance receivers are not bad; they were thoroughly tested by H.P. White Laboratory and found to be stronger than USGI receivers (see "The Springfield 1903 Rifles" by Colonel William S. Brophy), and the rifles are worth the sum of their parts.
