So can anyone tell me the model and how much it is likely to be worth? Thanks, George Quote Link to post

Edgar 1 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Looks like a super star that has been tuned and re-stocked. Quote Link to post
weebster 17 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Looks like a super star that has been tuned and re-stocked. how can you tell it's been tuned just by a pic,it could just be somebody stuck a fancy stock on it,only by a close inspection of the internals would tell you if it had been 'tuned' Quote Link to post
