Hey all, I'll cut to the chase. Trying to help value a gun from a friend-of-a-friend's estate. Link to pictures: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8TImhLbos5PQ0RONWo2d2dDQU0&usp=sharing From the Serial # this rifle was built in 1910. Saddle-ring carbine. Note the tube being smashed up...

Just great: https://www.ksl.com/?nid=1016&sid=36041085&title=guard-at-muslim-free-gun-range-accidentally-shoots-self The thing I don't understand is what kind of gun was this guy carrying that would "go off" when it hit the ground? Maybe a Colt SAA clone? And I love the "Clampetts" remark...

Where have you guys seen the market in your area go? Up, down or same? Has there been a significant move either way in that past year or so? I ask because it appears the price of S&W and Ruger wheelguns has risen significantly. Being in Utah, I've wondered if that was due to increased FFL sales...

OK, as my tagline may suggest I am a huge Elmer Keith fan. I told myself about 2 years ago that if I ever came across one of the guns he rebuilt at Ogden Arsenal, I would buy it. One just came up locally. He wants 1250 for it and an unopened spam can of WWII ammo. Am I nuts for wanting to jump...

This is no help, but I recommend THIS finish: :D I do hope you find the right long-term solution for your gun. These things are way too nice to not look pretty!

So a guy about an hour North of me posted the 3913 last night on a local online gun classifieds - for 300 bucks. I got a hold of him right away and arranged the meet today. When we got together, he said "Holy cow, I've got 6 guys that called this morning wanting this thing - one guy even...

In talking to a friend recently, he asked me to recommend a gun that he and his wife can both use for personal defense and have fun at the range with. And it needs to be concealable for when he goes out of town. And not take up too much space. And did I mention his wife needs to like to shoot...

The LGS I patronize the most just bought a pretty good-sized lot of guns from a pawn shop that was closing. They just got them put into racks (they used to only deal in new guns) and had them out yesterday. The fact that I'm a lefty may explain why I always gravitate to lever guns, but...

...now I can't get it open. It's a 60x36x27 Cabela's I bought in 2006? It says "Silver" on the bottom. I won't get into why I slammed the door, but of course I regretted it the moment it happened. The bolts were retracted so the face of the door hit the jamb I'm sure pretty hard. When I cooled...

There's dumber reasons I'm sure to buy a new gun, but I just counted many, many 45ACP rounds in my stockpile and only a Ruger SR1911 to show for it. SO, have you ever done what my addled brain is thinking of doing? If so, what did you end up with and were you satisfied with the result? Rod

I got some ammo recently in a gun trade. I wound up with a Remington 742 Gamemaster in 30.06 for next to nothing and it drew first blood (for my buddy at least) on a nice 3-point Muley last Saturday, right through the heart. Back to the ammo. It's still in the original packaging, and the...

Long story short, after 3 days of hunting and no luck, decided to hit up an auction on Saturday. Turns out some dude died and left all of his guns and ammo to someone that didn't want them. I think there were 130 in total, maybe 100 pistols and 30 rifles. Gotta admit I was excited when I found...

Picked this up today. Serial 68K05XX. As some of you may know, I've been pining for one lately. Sold one just like this during the "starving student" days, I figured it was high time I got another. Now, of course being a young dude at the time, I didn't know what I had back then other than a...

In replying to another post about gun shows, I remembered something that happened to me this past weekend at the show here in SLC. I had an MKII, 6" tapered barrel, blued with white "Red Eagle" grips, 2 "Red Eagle" mags, the original yellow box and instructions on my table. Nothing super...

I saw it, I liked it, I traded for it. Must be due to the current S&W revolver kick I'm on. What is this thing? How in the world would one go about finding out who did the custom work on it? I was told it's a model 10, 38 Special. The cylinder measures just 1 9/16" long so I would assume...

At the gun show last Saturday, I wound up trading a guy for this shotgun. Said it was his Grandpa's and he didn't have any use for it. I did the trade for a gun I had on my table that I didn't really want to take back home, so I figured no biggie. The only information I've been able to find...

Picked it up. Guy came down to 450 and threw in a Bianchi holster as well as 100+ once-fired brasses(38/357 mix). I think I did good!

Details: no-dash Model 66 Stainless 4" Pachmayer grips A local guy is selling it, he got it used and doesn't know much about it. No box or anything else. Having bought and sold guns for years, I know generally what to look for but I want one of these as a keeper so don't want to settle for...

I've had a model 686 6" PowerPort for years, my absolute favorite wheelgun. At my NRA Pistol Instructor class in February, the Training Counselor had a model 617 on the range in case anyone wanted to qualify with it. I'm ashamed to admit I had never in my 42 years ever heard of a 10-shot in 22LR...
