Two years ago a friend of mine moved out of his house and into an apartment. He asked if he could leave his guns at my house since he was afraid they would be stolen. I told him I didn't have any space for them except in my attic and he could leave then up there but not for too long since they would rust. He left them all this time and most had surface rust. I checked them the other day, found some were rusting, took them down and cleaned and oiled them and told him to come and get them.
He got them over the weekend and took them home. He asked if I would be interested in buying any and I first said no and then said I'd like to have either the M1or the 03-A3. He came by today with the S-C and said $300 and I paid him. I didn't bother to tell him it was worth more because I thought he owed me for storing and cleaning them since it was close to 30 guns total that I cleaned up. The S-C was one of the few that didn't have all kinds of rust on them.
He's a good guy and we've been friends for 30 years but it takes a real fool to put all those guns in an attic and just leave them.
