Ed..BTDT. I usually do sell more than i buy though. I just got some parts for the old Stevens 311 20 ga ordered. They actually had (supposedly) what I needed. I only paid 50 bucks for the gun and I guess 20 more bucks won't break me. Got some parts from Remington for my ol 1100 410..and it was complete except for the springs..but I called and they sent 'em out today..LOL. I have noticed that people are buying black guns. But money is TIGHT. really tight. Course we don't have any big cities like Birmingham up here..work is out there but it is not booming cept in North Dakota. . Certain guns are kind of hard to get around here..the AR 10s are at a premium.. When I do a show I don't take CCs. But that is the only available money some people have.. And to be honest I really don't want to be responsible for people getiin farther into debt. Heck the best rates i am getting on investments right now is only 3 1/2 percent..tax free of course...cept a couple in the 5-6% and another still at 7%..but not much in those accounts..so money is tighter for me too. If I didn't sell some of this stuff I wouldn't be able to buy. On another note..talked to a fellow yesterday and bought another AR from him..Bushmaster with 4 mags scope mount case and some extras I'll never use. Paid 650 for it. Don't think the guy has ever shot it..He bought it when there was some concern on getting one. I actually traded for most of the price..I had a Rem 742(with one of those 10 round mags) in 308 and he wanted any semi auto in 308..and figured he was better off with a hunting gun rather than an AR.. What were ammo prices like at the show??..they are fair around here..but primers are rising a bit..again. Oh at the last show i attended..the dealers were trading crap like crazy..but weren't selling all that well.

Oh..not into Brownings all that much..but a fellow offered me a Browning Safari Belgian Bolt gun in 30-06 with a Leupold Vx II 4-12..The gun is easily 98-99% with a few slight handling marks on the bottom of the stock. Not knowing about Brownings..ya have any idea of value?? He is askin 1100
