    ... Because you swapped those real rifles for bits of paper with imaginary values printed on them!

    Keep those bits of paper for 5 years, and then see how many rifles you can get for them!

    I'm not familiar with FTF. Is that like a pawn or gun shop locally there?

    Yes, unfortunately there comes a time when it's probably better if we sell our own guns if they're not being passed down.
    We are sure to get a better the fair market price and if left to loved ones that doesn't usually happen. It would sure be tough.

    I doubt I could have done it. I think I have every gun I've ever owned in my life with the exception of one, my first, a Glenfield 22. And you know what? I regret selling that one and it wasn't all that nice.

    I'm considering selling a few now however as my interests have changed and space is becoming a consideration. Just can't quite bring myself to do it.

    Remembered a second gun, a Winchester Ranger shotgun in 12 gauge. I hated that one though so it wasn't hard to give up. Wasn't too hard to forget either. It simply did not "fit" me well and I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with it. Some guns are just "there" and this one never was.

    I'd love to have a nice Finn Mosin, never even seen one, just heard about them. And you're selling them in your yard? Jeeze.

    Wish I'd been next door for your sale. The #4 rifle in your picture is a real beauty.
    Don't blame you for avoiding shipping issues, but if you change your mind.....

    Best of luck.
