Rolexrifleman better jump on this one...only $25k and 75 days left!

I know some guys have preferences as to the mfg date of their AI's, but seriously? Kind of funny since most of the Gunsite imports you regularly see tend to cost less.

If my info is correct, if this is a true Swedish "PSG-90" designation, shouldn't it have a 1:10" twist in a longer 27 or 28" barrel? Certainly looks the part with the green finish.

"AI became a different company are are currently under new management; making the rifle building process lack the precision and quality of the original company."

the AI rifles i've shot all demonstrate a very low level of precision and quality.

and i'm glad it was kept in an air conditioned smoke free home. i'd hate to spend $25k on a rifle that suffers from heat stroke and has poor aerobic health.

WOW!!!!! What a great deal!!! You ever catch fish on a bare hook? That's what it looks like here. Then again I don't know enough about this rifle or the circumstances as to why the seller thinks this is what it's worth. Just because it's printed on paper doesn't make it correct or true.

Taupe? Seriously?

I painted my bedroom Taupe... I don't own nor would I own a firearm that was Taupe</div></div>
Didn't you hear? Taupe is the new multicam!

I hear ya there. My AI's will be on a gluten-free diet to compensate for their "lack of quality and precision".

$25,000.......

Guess anybody stupid enough to pay that can always use it to blow out what brains they have when they find out I know someone who bought 3 ex-UK issue L96 for £25.00 (about $40)each earlier this year (which included the old, green fixed mag S&B scope, transit chest, spare barrel, sling, bipod and mags).

Mind you...to be fair, the bloke is still "in"....so maybe he got the equivalent of "closeout staff discount"?

Pretty sure that was for the true German G22 configurations. Those two (IIRC) had everything down to the red/white safety dots.

"Yes honey, I'm trying to sell my rifles, I put them on a gun auction site and everything, but no one seems to want to buy them, I'll leave them up there, but in the meantime I'm going to keep shooting them so they don't get rusty."

I think (hope) that slothlacrosse's comment was a sarcastic reference to the advertiser's comments about the current manufacturing capabilities and tolerances on the "new company's" products.

Re: AI Rifle ad on gunbroker......WTF

UPDATE: I found a quarter from 1983 under my desk. Now we all know the US wasn't in as much debt and back in 1983 a quarter could get you a helluva lot more than it does now. I can't verify this, but I believe this quarter has been exercising 4-5 times a week for the past 28 years as George's jaw looks particularly chiseled. Now I'm willing to part with this vintage monetary unit as I believe it represents a perfect piece of Americana.

Don't believe me? Well the US Mint even put a "P" on it to let YOU KNOW its the perfect quarter (It's just to the right of George's rat tail). You can also see the value by the stern look on George's face from 225+ years of global ass-kicking.

So to recap: for the low low price of 415.50 (Plus S&H) I'll send you this perfect piece of American history!

Joking aside the original green action and barreled rifles do go for a premium in the UK. A guy from my club was offered an exchange for his green actioned rifle for a brand new one, he snapped the guys hand off!!!!

Consider that this is unfired, scope and transit case it is worth a bit of money to the right person. Not saying it is worth the asking price but it is a rare beast

Re: AI Rifle ad on gunbroker......WTF

I like this quote:
"This Rifle is BRAND NEW and Unfired and has been kept in an air conditioned, smoke free home, in the original case since purchase"

The pictures were taken outdoors, with the rifle sitting on the ground and also pictures of the empty case.

Does that not make the quote false advertising?
