Well Rich.. It's not like i was makin a killing on stuff. Sometimes I almost break even. But I am havin fun. I bid on a fair Winchester 75 Target last nigh but quit when the bidding got to 400. Then after tha auction I actually made money on the gun. It didn't have it's original sights..I had 'em which is why I was bidding. Sold 'em to the guy who got the bid at 410. Sold him the front and rear sights for 150.. I had taken them with me to make sure they were right and the guy bought 'em. Sometimes even when the plan doesn't come together..they still work out. Also at the sale I got a Remington 870 Skeet bbl for 25 bucks 12 ga of course..and an early(dated 1951) 20 ga skeet bbl for 35 bucks. But it came with a 16 ga marked skeet stock also(early guns were all 12 ga framed so it doesn't matter). Both will fit the old 20 ga 870 I have. Most 870 bbls don't go high here. Trap bbl brought 70 bucks last night but only cause I bid against the guy who got it. I have an 870 TB with a field bbl on it. Wanted the trap bbl for that gun. Also got a box of ammo last night..a lot of 16 ga ammo in the box..But the older quality ammo. Not this new junk dove quail ammo. Must have had 6 or 7 boxes in there. Main reason I bought it was there was 19 rounds of 338 Win Mag in the box.... 250 gr Silvertips..Paid 5 bucks and got a box of 22 Eley 10X too. Those darn things cost a bunch any more..Can ya still get 'em??
