WTS: Pre-ban Springfield Armory SAR48, Imbel factory rifle

SOLD PENDING FUNDS to jimmbob.

This is an excellent condition rifle, with very little wear or use. It has a couple of handing marks, as seen in the pictures. The serial number has been verified with Springfield Armory to be an Imbel factory manufactured rifle that was imported before the 1989 ban.

***SPF***$1500 plus shipping and insurance.

Feel free to email any questions you might have. Email works best, as I seldom check IM’s. Send questions to fuatos@msn.com. This will be posted on multiple sites, so the first person to post an unconditional, “I’ll take it,” gets it by time stamp.

Good to a SAR 48 selling for closer to what they are worth.

Nice score, JB. Figured you had one already.

OK, as I'm new to this, is that a bipod cut barrel?

Still new to this and just picked up a LNIB 4800 with the same barrel.

Thanks nog

Actually, no - I did'nt have one until now. I've lost control of my BGS addiction so bad that I've kinda' been scared of venturing into other avenues such as Izzies, Argies, Imbels, etc... thinking the same thing may happen and end up losing my property. Then I saw this gem, figured once I have it in my possesion I will need nothing else. No more, I'm done buying now

Thanks Lee

It'll be in good company. This one'll be a keeper along with a few others I will never let go.

As for the Surgeon Generals warning sign, yes - I saw it. Thought it was BS at first, too late now.
