    Out bid would be good

    Honest I have no idea on GB my 1st suggestion

    contact the seller and have your bid canceled

    The sellers on here can help I know they have all faced similar

    You can email the selller and ask them to cancel your bid. They can contact customer support and ask for the bid to be removed. Customer Support typically gets that handled very quickly, so its not hard to get done so long as it happens with enough time for them to respond to the request.

    At that low of a price, chances are pretty good you will get outbid....

    Lock Stock and Barrel is a reputable seller. I think you'll be outbid but, if you contact them and tell them what's going on, they'll likely help you out.

    If the bid shown is your top bid, your just fine. It's worth the current bid even if the barrel was completely shot out.

    You bid on a 100 year old gun in 25-10 rim fire.

    You will never find ammo for it & if you do the ammo will cost more than the gun.

    Is that gun anything but a wall hanger?


    I would also add for future reference, the seller described the bore in the auction as a “4 out of 10” .

    I read it.... I was thinking about a reline. But it's at least 300.00

    I say suck it up and hope you get outbid. I think backing out is bad form.

    Not a normal thing to hope a member gets outbid, but I have my fingers crossed for you. We all have had those, don't look before you leap moments, and I hope it works out for you.

    Always liked the rolling blocks and wanted one in 7X57 for a long time but never found the right one. Got a great deal on a Ruger #1 in 7X57 so I assuaged my single shot 7X57 desire somewhat but it ain't a rolling block. Bob

    Once you bid, you are committed. (Read the little post it, when asked to "Confirm," your bid.) Once you hit that, your in it. (By your choice.)

    With 13 days left, safe bet you will be outbid.

    *I agree. Trying to contact the Seller in order to remove your bid, is poor form.

    I've done the "Late Night Bid," thing before. Suck it up. Pay if you win, or hope you get outbid.

    A rolling block with ammo your never gonna find? đŸ€” (Barrel/Bore listed as 4 out of 10.) Now complaining about the bore. What were you thinking?

    Just for future reference on barrel ratings.

    10 As new, perfect.

    9 Near perfect.

    8 Bright& shiny, some wear.

    7 shiny, some wear minor pitting.

    6 Good riflings.

    5 Decent riflings.

    4 Shootable.

    3 Dark bore, pitting & corrosion.

    2 Heavy pitting, some rifling.

    1 Very bad, just a hole.

    They are a very reputable seller. They might let you retract your bid. I went through this one with a seller. He claimed that the handgun was a Lew Horton. I contacted Lew Horton with the serial number and they said it was "NOT" a Lew Horton. I contacted the seller and he wouldn't retract my bid and GB could not resolve it for me. Thank God someone outbid me in the last few minutes. Even if they didn't, I wouldn't have paid for it and disputed the sale with GB.

    Now, Having said that, You are in good shape. Someone will definitely outbid you. If not, Like I said before, They will probably let you retract the bid, but might block you from bidding on their guns again. If they don't work with you, let it roll. Sorry, but most of us have been through this. Some twice😉. I also remember winning a Ruger 10/22 with a mannlicher stock real cheap. Drinking and bidding on fathers day, LOL. I won it for 280 bucks. My wife almost beat me over the head with it. LOL. I ended up selling the next weekend at a gun show for 390 bucks. .... Wife was happy when I brought home the money and gave it to her. Lesson learned.

    For 150.00. let er ride.

    Pretty sure you will be outbid. Unless you have a much higher maximum bid.

    Sometimes one can go to school and get an education or you can buy, sell, trade firearms and get a real education.

    Lotsa sage advice above. My thoughts


    1) Item appears fairly represented

    2) You placed your bid

    3) Your situation hasn’t dramatically changed since you placed your bid

    There are 5 other bidders; you just happen to be the high bid so far. If $150 is your max you’ll likely be outbid before this is over. If not, keep the moral high ground, complete the transaction, and enjoy your new rifle.
