skeet,

I hear you. There are many guns at yard sales and some are priced low and some are junk and priced very high. I stopped at a yard sale last year and the front yard picnic table had rifles and shotguns laid cross ways the entire length of the table. ALL were charred-looking and were rusted like I never saw before.

The homeowner said, "$100 bucks apiece, take what you want." I asked about the charred look and the rust and he told me the guns were from his dad's house that burned down and the rust was from the local fire department hoses that put out the house fire.

I moved on since the temper in the barrels and receivers may no longer exist!

Adam
