Gun Show finds

GOB,
Beat ya on this outing to Birmingham and then on to Tulsa. Picked up a Ruger #3 in B'Ham for $400, nice wood, bad barrel, and a 20 ga 870 for $139, went by a table full of junk and in the pile was a gray A-2 stock, spring and buffer for $35. So that was a nice lick. The #3 now has a never fired brand new 22 Harnet barrel in it, the 870 was painted with spray paint, cheepo spray at that, all green. I acetoned it, honed out the chamber and refinished the wood, made a pretty nice gun, it was recently reblued before painting. I pulled the collapsable stock off the match AR I built up and put the A-2 stock on it, now it looks like a match gun should.

Got to Tulsa, found some bullets including 230gr TCFMJ 45 bullets for 16.00 a 100 and some 8# powder kegs (AA2230), . Then on Sunday, bought a German made P226 with 5 magazines, including 2 Sig stamped, made in Germany, 10 round mags they only made in 1994, according to the Sig site. Sold the bad 22 Hornet barrel for $50, Guy said he did not care. Now I still have a real bad Hornet barrel left for a rebore.

Best,
Ed
