February 23, 20188 yr Marlin 336A lever action on 30-30. Marlin 925 bolt action in .22LR Ruger 10-22. Keep intending to play around tricking it out with a bull barrel and whatnot, but haven't gotten around to it. 1960s era Sears "Ted Williams Model" 200 shotgun in 12 gauge. It's a Winchester 1200 pump with Sears badging. Browning Citori O/U in 20 gauge. I have a few historic military guns that I've restored to shooting condition. I have shot them all, and they're fire-able, but I don't often. One's a British Enfield No.4 Mk 1, I also have a German WW2 Mauser Karabiner 98k, and then a Swedish WW1 era Mauser m/96. Oh....and I've got THIS fella.

Oh....and I've got THIS fella. My next purchase. I plan to get the take down model. A versatile rifle with cheap ammo. What's not to like? Also, planning on getting a nice safe eventually.
February 23, 20188 yr My next purchase. I plan to get the take down model. A versatile rifle with cheap ammo. What's not to like? Also, planning on getting a nice safe eventually. I have two right now, actually. A second hand, non-fire rated safe for the guns, and a separate little metal lockbox the ammo. I'd always planned on doing that anyway, but that was a requirement of my not-so-fond-of-guns wife. Once she gets through her residency and we move to wherever her career takes us, though, I'm planning on getting a nice Liberty or something like that.

Once she gets through her residency and we move to wherever her career takes us, though, I'm planning on getting a nice Liberty or something like that. Kind of my plan also. The plan is for my youngest to graduate in 2 years and I will become more rural. Hoping to build a small cabin out in the sticks. I currently live in a 3rd floor condo, so really didn't want to drag a 750lb safe up the stairs.
March 27, 20188 yr I guess I should have posted this list in here instead of in the "Guns you hunt with" thread. Here's a list of my guns: Remington Model 11 (with Browning action) semi-auto 12 gauge -- inherited from my Dad, lots of shells through this one from both my Dad and his cousin Remington 870 20 gauge -- Christmas present when I was 16 yrs old Winchester Model 42 .410 pump action -- from my Dad and my most cherished firearm. My Dad took quite a few rabbits with this. I never shot a squirrel with it but that is what I would use it for. Marlin 336c lever action in 35 Rem -- topped with a Leupold Vari-Xii, 1-4x-20mm CZ452 American .22 LR bolt action -- a beautiful rifle and highly accurate, topped with a sightron-II scope Marlin Model 60 semi-auto .22 LR -- somewhat sensitive to ammo, cheap Tasco scope, fun to shoot Winchester Wildcat .22 LR bolt -- for son #1, iron sights only Savage MKII .22LR left-handed bolt -- for son #2, iron sights only Ruger Mark I .22 LR 1951 -- needs some work. from my Dad
March 27, 20188 yr Was chatting with a work friend. She found a gun she didn't know her husband had. Wanted it out of the house. He had it for 10 years or so and never fired it. Had a full box of hollow points. Snapped a pic and sent it to a guy I know who collects Colts. The images looked like it had rust on it. He told me fair price in that condition was around $350. Paid her the $$ brought it home and my buddy told me it I just doubled my money. The pics made it look like rust but it was only dust. Colt, cobra with snub. She now has a Browning Belgium sweet 16 she wants to get rid of. I'll be looking at it in a couple of weeks.
March 27, 20188 yr I ended up with several shotguns, a couple of pistols and a rifle when my mom passed that belonged to either her or her husband before he passed. Only one gun is a "Family Heirloom" type gun, and old Winchester .22 Gallery Pump Action Rifle that had been passed on through family. The rest we are looking to repurpose into a new home defense/target shooting rifle (Read AR-15)
March 28, 20188 yr S&W SVE 9mm, Hi-Point .40 caliber, H&R single shot 20 gauge (first gun) Remington 1100 12 gauge, inherited from my dad, a little .22 plinker I bought for my ex girlfriends daughter several years ago (not sure of the brand), never shot and I ended up with it.

March 28, 20188 yr Is the husband dead or divorced? I would not be happy if I found out my wife sold my gun. Neither! just relocating from a big house to a small condo and she does not want the gun in the house. She swore she told him and I'm positive she did.
