They sure are proud of them at $700.00.
How much do they usually ask for them at gun shows?
Asking is usually in the $700 range and has been stuck in that bracket for quite a few years. Selling price depends upon condition and the knowlege of the buyer. They are scarce but there isn't the same number of people who are looking for them as there are buyers for the 303's.

Glad I bought all the variations years ago.
was that the year they were new, john?

No, that was the year they were around $200
Now tell us about how you survived a dogfight with Richthofen.

I bought mine from J&G in Prescott 20 years ago and it was $500 then. Bolt will not close on chambered round but will with bolt head from another trainer. Someone suggested I 'stone' the face of that bolt head till it does close on chambered round???
Yes, stoning the head is how headspace is adjusted and it's a tedious process insomuch as the face MUST be kept square and only the right amount of metal is removed. However too many people automatically jump to addressing your type of problem as headspace without looking elsewhere. Measure your bolt head and bolt body against one which works to see if yours is really too long.
Stoning the bolthead should be the last thing to do. First see if your bolthead will work when installed on the 'good' bolt body. Does yours work in the other rifle? Measure the headspacing to see if it's really too long that it keeps the bolt from closing. Check the raceways and the mating surfaces. Inspect the lugs to see if they are clearing enough to engage. Is there something amiss with the chamber....The list goes on, but what you need to do is to find out EXACTLY why the bolt won't close before removing metal. It doesn't take long but it's one of those things where you don't want to mask one problem by possibly creating another.
