imschur Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I guy that works for me was moving and wanted to sell his dads guns. I didnt think it would be anything interesting as they were described as an old bolt action shotgun and .22 He offered them to me for $100. I bought them just cuz. Never took them out to their cases for several months. Well folks was I surprised at the .22 It dated back to the 40's. He even provided ammo of that era which was pretty neat too. Below is a picture from the web but it is exactly what I have.Heres info on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microgunner Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Firearms are ALWAYS worth more in original condition. Maybe not today but someday. You could be destroying a valuable antique for your great grandchildren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Gotcha thanks.I should probably just sell it or trade it to someone who will appreciate it and not keep it stashed away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hell, if I applied that criteria to my collection I'd have to sell 95% of my firearms. I own guns I haven't even seen in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hell, if I applied that criteria to my collection I'd have to sell 95% of my firearms. I own guns I haven't even seen in years. I have a space issue. Tiny one room apartment. Safe is full and Im resorting to disassembling and stashing. BTW i have only got rid of one firearm in my 43 years. A S&W 4006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I see what you mean. I hate to store disassembled firearms. Parts always seem to come up missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I got a little smart a few weeks ago. I took all the bolts from the actions and put them under the false bottom in the safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 BTW i have only got rid of one firearm in my 43 years. A S&W 4006Got me beat all to hell. I've had a couple bad spells in my life where I've been forced to sell dozens of firearms. Some of them very fine firearms. Doo Doo occurs.

imschur Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 I'm thinking of selling this rifle to fund a much larger purchase. What do you figure $300-$350? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Full stocks are desirable and it's only property to use as needed. If selling is what's needed then it's fulfilling it's purpose.I think that sounds like a fair price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
