imschur Posted August 22, 2009 Report 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
Microgunner Posted January 9, 2010 Report Posted January 9, 2010 When will we see the promised photos of your 42M? C:-)
asmurff Posted January 9, 2010 Report Posted January 9, 2010 Any idea on the value? I like that scope.
imschur Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Posted January 11, 2010 You guys are going to have to wait a bit longer for this. I thought it was in my safe but It looks like i stowed it away in my secret hiding place the "Bat Cave" . I need a second muscular person to get at it.sorry
imschur Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report Posted January 23, 2010 Well here she is. Next time Im in the safe Ill get the scope out
Microgunner Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 I love full stocks and yours is beautiful! :thumb:
imschur Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report Posted January 23, 2010 Is there any reason I shouldnt refinish the stock?
Microgunner Posted January 23, 2010 Report 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.
imschur Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report 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.
Microgunner Posted January 23, 2010 Report 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.
imschur Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report 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
Microgunner Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 I see what you mean. I hate to store disassembled firearms. Parts always seem to come up missing.
imschur Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report 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.
Microgunner Posted January 23, 2010 Report 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 January 23, 2010 Author Report Posted January 23, 2010 Most of my stuff is ehh anyhow ;D
imschur Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Posted April 13, 2013 I'm thinking of selling this rifle to fund a much larger purchase. What do you figure $300-$350?
Microgunner Posted April 13, 2013 Report 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.
imschur Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Posted April 13, 2013 That was a fortune cookie response!!c LOLIm going to do it.
