I didn't think that E-bay allowed guns. I was talking to my shooting buddy last night. He was perusing e-bay when I called and did a search on Remington Rolling Block Parts and found a complete #1 action priced at $135 buy it now. It had just been put up. I asked him if he was going to take it because if he didn't I was. Not sure why I need another project but the price was good enough that I could sit on it. Anyway that pushed him over the edge and he jumped on it. From what I have seen lately a good price on a roller action is $250 and up. BTW the price included shipping. Some peoples children

It's been a while back but I was looking for something on evil-bay not something that I do much off but did run across some drillings in the Omaha area. Not sure about the spelling but one was a Kriegoff, along with a Sauer, and a couple other high end guns. I'm sure that the evil-bay police didn't know what they were.

so i gotta ask about this as ive kinda half heartedly looked for plain actions but never fount them so where does a fella search for just actions for project guns? mainly looking for hiwall and ruger #1's and so far havnt found either.

Ted, I look for complete guns for a donor action. I look for Mausers, and can usually buy a good action this way, for much less than I would pay for an action by its self.

As Waksupi pointed out that might be the way to go. This Roller started life as an1889 Swedish sporter. It now wears a 40-65 barrel and working on a curly maple stock for a BPC deer rifle. The price several years ago was $225. The actions alone when you can find them are more than that and were then.

E-bay caught it but too late. My buddy said that they sent him a notice that he should get his money back and cancel the deal, but he already has the action in hand.
