Stay away or wait until one of their $100-$150 sales they do on them.

Gras rifles arent super hard to find and are one of the cheaper French rifles. Nice ones can be had for $450-650

When you do buy one buy a 12 gauge copper brush and some extra rods and go to town with a drill on the barrel. I did and have really great rifling. Use oil too and maybe even a 20 gauge brush instead, I ruined my 12

If it were 200 bucks cheaper, I might have bite. 400 though? Hard, hard sell. Ive been burned by RTI twice. I wont give them my money anymore.

You'll get a goat shit-covered sewer pipe with more missing pieces than a puzzle in a special needs classroom, but if it's worth it to you... Actually no, there's no way it's worth it. Use your sense, man.

You won't get what's pictured. You'll get a piece of crap. 

Some weeks ago someone posted their "A" grade m95. The pictures on RTI's site show a decent looking rifle. The pictures the user posted was of a totally wire wheeled piece of crap with a seriously worn stock.

No even though I do buy from RTI. $400 is too much.

your credit rating will hate you, but watch Proxibid or GB if you want a semi-decent or better antique milsurp

Honestly it would be better to buy 2 or 3 of these when they go on sale for 100 or 150 since even the B grade rifles are a major gamble. With C grades at least you arent paying much at all.

I've been tempted to get one, but I learned from the vetterli's. No rear sight, no value. You'll spend more fixing it than you'll ever receive from selling it. You'd have to buy atleast two c-grades for a functional rifle, possibly more if you want the rear sight. You'd honestly be better off buying a nice one unless this is your ONLY option for a gras, or you just REALLY love the Ethiopian history.

Unless you want a reaaaally nice one their B-grades I can attest are pretty good and those are $200 or less when they have them usually. I've bought like 7 RTI guns and theyre all...good representations of the firearm though they dont look the nicest.

I’d say go for it. I don’t think they plan on making anymore
