Alot of food for thought there. One of the "buddies" brought me a Inland M1 Carbine that is in BEAUTIFUL shape to put a spring kit in, and give it just a general cleaning (gun was his fathers in Korea, it hasn't been fired or oiled in about 30 years, and it is still a gun I want to drool over). In trade for the work he gave me a Ted (or Tad maybe?) Williams model 100 30-30Win Sears Roebuck & Co that his wife wanted out of the house because he hasn't used it in 35+ years. Other than some spots of rust that have removed some blueing on the reciever and lever the rest of the gun looks like it just came out of the box. . . . . SOOO another one for the collection.
Sigh. I don't really want to get into the FFL, Insurance, etc etc. So I guess I will just have to start telling people I am busy more often, or make them come up with really good trades. Wish I could afford to turn it into a side buisness, but I just don't think I have the cash flow right now to do so. (And yet if I did I probably would have the cash flow. Danged if ya do danged if ya don't type thing.)
Thanks for the advice guys.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
