I was going to buy an old .22 rimfire from my local RFD cheap and I found out the reason it was cheap was that spares were non existent and the rifle in question would no doubt need spares as it was far from pristine in looks plus it needed a few parts replaced but at £50 it was dirt cheap. If I had bought it may have became a paper weight .

Bottom line is don't expect the seller to tell you what you could have researched yourself especially when you have been told the thing may need spares like seals .
Dam wish i had you as my crystal ball. As he was a long standing member a little to much trust was put his way. Will not fall far that shite again.
