Title: Well I got the RWS 24.
Post by: a1Bogey on May 08, 2011, 07:01:18 PM
And it is New.   If I understand the date it is 11-98.  It came in a yellow box with a photo of a RWS AG.   The box still contains the warranty card and an instruction pamplet in german and english.   Dark wood stock without a butt pad.   No scratches and no dings.   Hooded type front sight.   The info says that it has a nonadjustable trigger.   The bore looks real good with no crude .  

Now I have a problem.   Do I shoot it or not.   Because once I shoot it , it will never be new in box again.  I will be a used gun.  Sigh.

Gonna go and give it some tender loving care for an hour or so.   Be back later.

It wouldnt be a problem for me for very long Bogey. I dont think I could keep it and not shoot it. But thats me. Weakness? Charactor flaw maybe? Who cares, I like shootin.

Without pics it ain't true!

Seriously, AGs are meant to be shot. IMHO it really won't be a collectors item. Just me. So you can keep it pristine and it might be worth $150/$160 to someone or shoot it snd sell it later in box for $135. What's the difference. Not sure if the RWS version is less valuable than a Diana.   

You might want to post up for opinions on the DWC.

Shoot it.  It was made to be shot and it's not a Winchester 1873 One of One Thousand.  You can easily sell it for what you paid for it.  Have some fun, fer chrissake!
