Notice the title... Mozin Nagant. A miss-spell that fell out of everyone's search parameters. :wink:

I was given the lead on it by one of you croo.. :shock: ..Great forum members, :biggrin: and was about to pony up the doh when I got a fone call on the 2 finns I was working on. I had to abandon the m44 for the 2 higher priced finns but I am not too broken up. I had the finns in the bag but the bag was supposed to be next month and he brought them a month earlier then expected. After all I am a seriously broke individual. :roll: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I can't believe you didn't snag that Brad or GS. Try and throw you guys a bone and you let someone steal it for less than a regular 91/30 refurb!!

Come on man, you bid to 47.44 and quit? I must try to understand your strategy my brother, but alas it would be a futile effort. What kind of dang bid is 11.11 and 47.44? Why the freaky amounts? I still am laughing. :lol:

I pasted the 11.11 to put a quick bid on it. I was first and I was already fishing another pond. I then upped it to the higher number and was still leading when I got the finn call. I hate to throw out high numbers if I don't have to. The odd numbers are a secret to wins on almost all of the ...few I have won. I will pm the reason to you. :biggrin: :thumbsup:

I think this had a lot to do with it.
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!
