    Nope! Not even if I had millions to spend. You can find one off CLs or ebay for less. Keep an eye out for a deal off CLs.

    If I had the money I would but ANY featherweight. I want one that bad. But I think $800 is to high for one. Even I would pass on this one.

    No. You can find them for a lot less than that.

    If it was a Featherweight 222 free arm, yes I would. At Paducah, they were reduced to slightly less than $1,000 and for a 222 this would be a good price.
