Must be a run of good luck or "finds"...

After setting up the varmint/benchrest pistol (10" .223 Rem barrel on Contender frame with Pachmayr grip and forearm) I got it into my head that I "needed" a third and maybe fourth Contender frame. As we know, they don't make these any more and prices have been climbing steadily. So I thought I'd just check out Gunbroker, you know, just to get familiar with pricing just in case one came prancing by looking for a buyer. We all know how this goes despite the best of intentions. Now I'm working to finish this transaction but I did get a frame AND a barrel for about what just the frame usually costs now. I was surprised that I won the auction. Receiver=$270+, barrel=$200+, sight (I figured)=$50-100, and then there's the wood.
