I'd like some input on this item, whether it is a good buy at this price...does the description sound correct? thanks!

Seems high to me for what sounds like a parts gun with a high level of appropriate parts match. The bolt makes me wonder how many other [:D][:D]parts are technically correct but pulled together from many sources to appear original.
That said, I'm by no means a Carbine collector and others with a lot more experience in this field may not agree.

I concur with Rob.

He only shows about 25% of the areas that a collector would insist on seeing. And, it looks to me like the wood has been refinished.

Too many red flags: too few photos, photos out of focus, hidden reserve, no returns. I'd pass on it.

The wood is prety shabby but it is difficult to find a carbine with all the right parts unless somone has restored it. Most have been arsenal rebuilt at some time.
