My new hobby... cont'd

[CurSedVoyce]

I get too attached ... So I have a tendency to regret selling ..

I've owned more SKS rifles than I care to recall! I THINK I got to shoot two of them! One I still own, a paratrooper version that I've never seen another version of, it's shorter and the lanyard comes through the side, not the loop on the bottom of the stock. I got hella good at cleaning them. Easy-off oven cleaner gets the cosmoline off easily. We'd buy six to eight a show, have them all sold before we got home! Buy them for $75 and sell them for $125-$175 each, all day long, never did get that?
I wish like hell I could find another case or two of the old steel core ammo for $60 a case! I really messed up not getting more of that stockpiled!

Sold my 1911 and picked this up.....very impressed with the XDm .45 indeed. Range report coming soon.....

 

[sawinredneck]

Interesting, I'm hearing a lot of love for these guns!
Congrats!

 

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Thanks mate, had some trijicon night sights put on it too. Took it to the range yesterday...........LOVE this pistol. Ran 50 rounds through it without any problems. Get one Andy!!

I have an old Stevens model 416 22lr. My parents met on a rifle team in college...it was my dads guns. Fun to shoot. Anyone know the value of this gun.....sounds like it cost 22 dollars back in the 40's

 

[Mr. Sir]

Yup, they sold for $22.42 back in the day and about 10,000 were manufactured. Depending upon condition, values today range from $70 to $140. This model was also used as a U.S. military training gun. If yours is stamped "U.S. Property" on the rear of the bolt housing, it will be worth quite a bit more.

My first gun was a Stevens Buckhorn Model 66b. It was my Dad's gun. Got it when I was 12. I still have it, but the feed mechanism from the tube to the bolt is worn out. Shoots very accurately though.

 

[Mr. Sir]

I just picked up a Pedersoli .45-70 in like new condition. Can't wait to shoot it! It's similar to the one in Quigley Down Under, but a bit smaller.

It looks just like this one:

Poly Tech AKS-762

Here's a Chinese AKS I just got from an auction in Achorage, Alaska!

 

[Strikermike]

I have one just like that new in box unfired. I have no idea what their current worth is. Can you enlighten me?

 

[woodworkingboy]

I wonder what wood they use there?

 

[Mr. Sir]

I have one just like that new in box unfired. I have no idea what their current worth is. Can you enlighten me?

$1,500.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Brett, do you have any idea if Charlton Heston's collection is still intact? You would be a good keeper of it.

 

[sotc]

No he wouldn't, he would sell it so fast!

 

[woodworkingboy]

Naw, the mortars would look awesome in the living room.

 

[Mr. Sir]

Ruger 10/22 Florida Edition "One of One"

I bought myself an early Christmas present.

 

[Mr. Sir]

I just bought this beauty! Brand new, never fired, still in the box. I'm really tempted to shoot it, but I'll probably just sell it. The value will decrease by about $400 if I fire it.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Wow. That would be hard not to shoot!
A thing of history and beauty Brett...

 

[stig]

Is it an original Tommy or a copy?

 

[Mr. Sir]

It's a modern made version of the original design.

 

[No_Bivy]

kahr arms?

 

[cybergeek23851]

John, it's Kahr-Auto Ordinance. Kahr acquired the company in 1999.

 

[Mr. Sir]

Yeah, what he said.
