Your all-time best gun deals

[woody morgan]

What are some of the best gun deals you've done?

Traded a Marlin Camp Carbine in .45 for a new-in-box Winchester M1894 Trails End in .44mag.

Traded a well-used Ruger .22lr Standard for a 7 1/2" Ruger Super Blackhawk with six rounds through it.
The original owner was 5'1" and maybe 110 pounds.

Bought a beautiful Winchester 9422 at a buddy's shop for $250.

Well other than a couple $120 SKS carbines and $100 Makarovs back in the day.... without implicating the guilty, I once orchestrated a deal where I purchased a quality rifle, shotgun, and handgun along with two other handguns. I had a buyer in mind for one of the handguns and "threw in" the other. I ended up breaking even... if you are doing the math, I ended up with a FREE quality rifle, shotgun, and handgun. I seriously doubt I'll ever top that.

I bought a 10/22 and a Remington 1100 for $20 each at a garage sale in Virginia many years ago….

On occasion I get guns for free... my most recent free acquisition...a Colt Detective in pristine condition...



YES... people know what they have and YES they acknowledge they are gifting the firearm to me personally.

A co-worker recently acquired a Saginaw M1 Carbine and a Colt US Property marked 1911 from the family of a deceased WWII vet who kept these after the war. YES... they knew full well what they had and initially they insisted on them being destroyed.

Fortunately he convinced the family it's what Pops would have wanted so he got the pair for $500.

For me the best deal has yet to come.... Im wondering if I give away a free rifle someone might use it in a manor that benefits all of society? You hear me? Maybe, just maybe...... someday!

Prob my wife’s Serbian AK at 499. Should have been a Polish Tantal. When we lived in Panama City they were 299 but I was worried about availability of 5.45. Did get my 870 Marine Magnum for 400.
