How'd I do?

protegeV · Dec 17, 2016

Heard through the grapevine that a coworker was selling a bunch of guns to help out a family member.
My interest was of course piqued. Went to his house to check them out last night. I'm not real familiar with old guns, but there were at least two I wanted for myself, the catch being that you had to buy them all.
Ended up with these 12 guns for $1,000. I realize there are a few shotguns, but I thought this was the best section to post in.

Wards western field 410
Ithaca 16g SxS
Savage model 340d .222
Remington game master model 760 270win
Springfield Steven's 87a 22lr
Winchester 1400 12g
Marlin 336 30-30
Parker hale 270w
Benelli super 90 20g
Remington game master 141 35remington
10/22 laminate
10/22 (with a funky side folding pistol grip stock)

Q

Tell me about it. They're all leaning on the wall in my closet right now...

The only ones I really want to keep are the Marlin and benelli. Maybe the side folder 10-22 for the kids.

I'm thinking I can make my money back on the rest, maybe a tad more. Gotta do some research since I know nothing about the older guns.

That's a deal I'd take. About half of them would make good Christmas gifts and the rest would compliment my collection. Wish I had co-workers like that.

Jeez, at less than $84 a gun, it's pretty much winning a gun lottery. Nice job.

Did the Ithaca SxS come with a forearm?

Pensfaninmd · Dec 17, 2016

Wow!!! Awesome job..

Yes. He had taken it off to show me the barrel and it wasn't back on in the picture.

Yeah, the sxs is probably gonna be a Christmas/bday (today) gift for my father in law. He's from upstate NY, only an hour or so from ithaca.

Done good!

iH8DemLibz · Dec 17, 2016

You dun did good.

Those Butler Creek side folders (10-22) are surprisingly strong and durable.

hodgepodge · Dec 17, 2016

Yes, 12 long guns for $1000 is a deal. There are some I'd take in there.

PM me your thoughts on the laminate 10/22. I might be interested...

Great karma!

Nice pickup for sure

Minuteman · Dec 17, 2016

Great job!

That super 90 looks... super.

Let me know if you don't want a 20 gauge.

Nice haul man! The Benelli and the 10/22s make it worth your money alone, everything else is icing on the cake.

MikeSP · Dec 17, 2016

Nice Job. What Year is the Marlin (Lookup Here)

Seagrave1963 · Dec 17, 2016

Really nice man! Great pickup - Congrats!

I'm diggin' that 336 too.

Pre-safety. So pre-early 1980s.

That's a great deal! I'd give Wards .410 a very caring home...
