Not sure if it was lie or just ignorance, but:
Went to some local gun stores last year when one of my friends started looking for a rifle. In one of the stores i saw a thumbhole stock and a POSP scope peeking at me from the back of a shelf, and asked about it.
"It's a Dragunov," he says.
"A REAL Dragunov?" I ask.
"Yep. 1200 bucks," He replies.
Smells fishy, so i ask to handle it. He hands it to me, and i see it's actually a PSL variant, clearly marked Romak-3. I point this out to him, tell him a Dragunov uses a whole different action, and would be worth several thousand dollars more. He states he didn't know that. Tell him 1200 is a LITTLE much for a PSL, ask if he'd go down to 950. He offers 1150. I thank him for his time.
Didn't really want the rifle, my buddy REALLY did, but had no idea what it's value was, and i figured i'd try to help him out. Lol.
