I know nothing about the gun or the seller but thought I would pass it along. He has another one with reserve.

The serial number is only 100 away from my own rifle. If the wife had a sense of humor I would compete for it.

Good call on posting the link to this poor soul - definitely needs some TLC.
Plus the seller has a 14 - .30Rem...

Hey Guys,
For what it is worth and I might be wrong, but that forearm doesn't look like a Schnable forearm to me.
The forearm screw is also incorrect. It has more of the charterstics of a model 81 forearm. I have a couple of this style forearm on the late model 8's that have the pistol grip that looks like the model 81 stock. The rifle certainly needs a home where it can mingle with its counterparts.
REgards,
