Anyone ever sell anything to Numrich before?

Hey all, I have a semi-auto Savage that I haven not been able to find a new receiver for as it turned out it had a crack in it that I did not see when purchased. Since i cannot find the part that I need, I figured might as well sell it Numrich, anyone have experience, or other thought where I card part this guy out at?

I would just list it on gun broker with full disclosure. I see firearms with cut frames and the rest of the parts intact on there all the time.
I can't imagine that numrich would give you very much. Places like that are always looking to double their money or more. That of course means less for you.

Have the receiver repaired.

Have the receiver repaired.

Its made of aluminum alloy, not something that can be repaired. It was a flaw in the design of the gun. If I could find a new receiver I would keep it, but out if production since the 1960s and its in 16 gauge.

Pics? Where is the crack at?

Will have to get it out tomorrow. I know it's not fixable as AllenM was the one that found the crack.

Did he say not fixable at all? Or he can't fix it? There are some very talented people out there that can fix just about anything, even an alloy receiver...

I have, they are fair to price things if you consider they need to sell it as well.

No disrespect to AllenM, but "not fixable" is a bunch of BS. I fix things that are not fixable for a living. I make a LOT of money off of that statement.

There is a distinct difference between "not fixable" and "not cost effective to fix". That's the kicker. The vast skill set required to be a good gunsmith means that you would also be good at many other things, many of which pay better.
