My dear gun nut friend, now departed; bought a Savage 99 in 22 High power with the .410 barrel from a widow for $125. I told him he should be ashamed of himself. He thought that the .410 barrel must have had a forearm so he offered less that it was worth. Anyway, the lady took it. The rifle was in wonderful shape. Very nearly new as I recall. After he passed his widow took it to a gun shop where she got screwed too. I guess what goes around comes around.
Have you shot that .410 barrel? Of course, they never did have a forearm.
