  1. Let her see, handle and shoot as many different guns as possible. But in the end, let HER make the choice.

  2. It’s not difficult to believe. Lots of guys on here have some serious collections. I don’t think it far fetched that most would be in like new condition. Despite differences that some of us my have, outside of my family and military buddies, these are some of the most honest people I’ve ever met. I normally purchase new, moderately priced guns in pairs. I’ve sold and purchased several that are exactly as described. Some guns get a magazine or two through them, and some don’t. I have some expensive guns in the safe that I just wanted, and they’ve never had a magazine inside them. The most important thing I’ve learned about buying or selling on here is to be honest. A good reputation makes it easy to do both. In most cases, if the sale were local, I’d almost always throw in something (ammo or accessories) for free. Good luck with your future sales or purchases!

  3. Sounds like your issue has more to do with pricing than believing someone's weapon has/hasn't been fired. To the latter there's a lot of good people on TGO and when I deal with someone I take them at their word. If they lie then they run the risk of being outed at the point we make the deal. Same for me if im the seller. To the former you're going to have to learn to look laugh and move on.

  4. I am one who does not have a lot of trouble believing it. I just counted and I have 34 guns right now. About 2 thirds of them I bought new. I have shot 3 of them. I just like collecting them. I used to be a class 3 dealer back in the 80's and had dozens of machine guns. I played with so many full autos that I am no longer much interested in firing an ordinary firearm. On top of that there is no convenient place to shoot around here. Your situation may be different.

  5. SPM CMP US etched Winchester 52D with J.W. Fecker scope. I am fairly sure it is an 8X, but these weren't marked with a power. It isn't less than 8X. Scope is clear and cross hairs are really good. It shows some discoloration due to it's age but still in really nice shape (Fecker stopped producing scopes in the 50's). These are precursors to the Unertl's and were what the Unertl's were based off of. Stock was cleaned up and has been redone, but it still has some of it's original dings, etc. Metal has typical marks as almost all CMP guns do. Shoots good. I just got a couple more 52's so moving this one $1800 firm for rifle and scope. $1300 rifle only. $500 scope. Will sell separate. Meet within a reasonable (30 min) distance of Chapel Hill.

  6. This is our yellow lab/german shepherd mix. We got him from a shelter at the beginning of Covid as a puppy. Met his breeders by chance a couple years later. His sister is a TSA dog. He’s been perfect for us, loyal and great with my daughter and fierce protector of the house.

  8. Whatever works for you is the best. I tell ya one thing , the Ruger LCP .380 makes it so easy to run to the parts store , grocery store , or dollar store. It fits right in the front pocket with a DeSantis pocket holster. I've been doing this for over 8 years. It's so much easier than belting-up an holstering-up a bigger gun. I will say that when we go to more populated places and pack the bigger tools.

  9. Sat. am Mar 2, I had a serious heart attack. Doctors found too many blockages to put stents. Did put 2. Went from Wilson Vanderbilt to St. Thomas. Nashville. Got home yesterday, doing rather well so far. Will have to do cardiac rehab of recovery . Never know what the next day will bring.

  10. Guys, thanks so much for all the well wishes. I'm not one to throw in the towel, when problems arise. Will be doing cardiac rehab. My middle name has been changed to : appointments.

  11. Drove about 250 miles round trip to get this bad boy today and Im over the moon ecstatic. Thanks to @Patton for the tip on where I could find one. Ill be pairing this fighting revolver up with a Simply Rugged Sourdough Pancake in black alligator as my Sunday go to meeting rig. The Sourdough has the IWB straps on it, and should help make carrying a big chunk of steel much more comfortable.

  12. Just a basic 15-22. I have several .22 rifles and this one is one of my favorites. Only selling because I bought a threaded barrel model to run a suppressor on. I've had this one for a few years and have had zero issues with it. I do have the box. $350 in Lebanon

  13. When I first joined this site, I only owned a handful of guns, only what I needed and they'd all been fired a lot. I was a impressed to learn how many people on here had collections of firearms, not just necessities. I thought they must be millionaires, LOL. As I've come to realize time/age is a more of a factor to the size of the collection than wealth. I'm not wealthy by any stretch, but over the past 20+ years my collection has grown. I now see how easy it is to have unfired LNIB guns.

  14. I'm in the same boat. Actually, there are some guns I buy that I'd prefer be fired, because I'd probably never shoot them-lol. Like if I think it might be collectable in the future. A few years ago I bought a new CZ97B, and didnt shoot it right away. Now they are discontinued and scarce and I wont shoot it, figuring its worth more. Looking for a used one, but folks want more for a used one that I paid for a new one. One thing I see often in a gun ad, but dont understand, is where folks will say the gun has been carried, but never fired. God bless you to trust that gun without ever shooting it. I like to do 400-500 rounds thru the gun first, with the last 100 or so being HP and some actual carry ammo. Which is why I dont change carry guns too often-lol. Have only bought guns from TGO folks a few times, its mostly Armslist or E-Classifieds. But I gotta say, 99% of my transactions have gone smoothly and have met some great folks. And the guns are usually in the condition that they were described.

  15. I despise the mere existence of the ATF and think almost everything they do is illegitimate, however I'll let my hypocrisy show a little on these points: It's none of the AFT's business if I buy a gun for someone as a gift, but I do want it to be illegal to make straw purchases. I don't think every felony should keep someone from buying a gun, but I do want it to be illegal for violent felons to buy guns. I don't think smoking pot should keep you from buying a gun when people who drink alcohol are free to do so. I believe in "shall not be infringed", but I do want it to be illegal for crazy people, stalkers, and people with restraining orders against them to buy guns. I don't think illegals are entitled to any inalienable rights under our Constitution.

  16. Ok so first is a 1923 Winchester 94. The barrel is actually from an earlier 1894 and is octagonal. It has been cut down from 26” to 22”. This is a buddies but I did the cleanup on it. Full tear down and cleaning. Wood cleaned up and a new hand rubbed oil finish. The barrel blueing is great except for some spots near the muzzle where something got on the finish and caused rust. I cleaned it up the best I could w/o messing with the original finish. The receiver/parts, butt plate and forend cap got some cold blueing. turned out nice.

  18. If you’re having trouble with this, don’t ever watch Mecum’s car auction on tv. A big block stingray with 400 miles on it is really hard to swallow!

  20. Some folks are shooters and some folks are collectors. I have no problem believing it. Stamp collectors don’t lick every stamp they gather.

  21. Not hard to believe at all. I have a lot of shooters but have more that are NIB collector guns.

  23. Have gone to a Glock 48 or Sig 365 because of age. 1911's and Gock 17's were too big and the all metal guns too heavy. Getting old kind of sucks.

  24. UPDATE: I've had it back for a little over a week and have driven it quite a bit at various speeds and of course hitting plenty of the potholes on our roads now. No more shaking, so it seems like the diagnosis of the drag link was correct. Replacing the Aux battery was pretty easy. 4 bolts and some tugging on the passenger fender to remove it. I actually struggled getting the side marker light harness disconnected more than anything else . I did crack a few of the clips, but not so bad that they don't work, plus the 4 bolts are really doing the attaching. Next time I have an order for Quadratec I'll add in some of their $2 clips and replace them.

  27. My oldest daughter is the tracker in our family. She likes to know where everyone is - and people knowing where she is. I have a deal with my children that goes in the reverse as well. Any of them can text a single letter to me, and they’ll get a phone call a couple of minutes later stating that there is a family emergency at home and that I need to come get them from where they are right now. This gives them an immediate out that’s not on them if they ever find themselves in a situation where they’re uncomfortable - or see it going that way. There are some other adults in my kids lives - and some of other kids in mine who can do this and get a similar immediate response. I’m thankful for the community in my life.

  28. 1985 Ruger MK II heavy target model Chambered in 22 long rifle 5.5" heavy target barrel Standard target sights Includes 1 magazine Excellent condition given it's almost 40 Y.O. No box $500 obo Only trades that would interest me at this point would be old S&W, Colt, Marlin, Ruger Bisley, Savage 24, Coonan, Dan Wesson revolvers in calibers I don't already own, etc. I'm coming to East Nashville this Friday morning (3-1-24) for anyone down that way that may have interest. I'll be meeting up with a couple members then shagging a$$ back east.

  29. Another vote for the lcr 38. My wife doesn’t actually have that one but she does have the lcr in 327 Federal magnum. 6 rounds vs 5 and she can try 5 different calibers . 32 acp on up. She also has an assortment of revolvers mostly 38 S&W which she likes.

  31. Might just have been my wifes' Dad. My father-in-law was the worst for this I've ever run across and taught me well. I've kept pieces of 2x everything! Pieces of plywood most people would burn! But best was the 2x10 ends cut from house rafters. We were cruising and found a job site with a full dumpster. Lord help me! We stopped and asked to go thru it for salvage. Got told to go ahead. We left with an 8' truck bed stacked and roped with all kinds of "scrap & treasure"! When he passed away, it took 4 of us to empty the shelves of his "Might need it someday" stash! LOL! I miss that man.

  32. Our kids aren’t old enough to venture out any further than the neighborhood independently, but we do not utilize any sort of personal tracking software at all. Of course the kids (12&7) don’t have any personal electronic devices either.) Have no plans to as of now. I have a pretty immediate and intense visceral repulsion to the idea to be honest.
