I think they’d average a hundred bucks apiece or so, as they are all modern. The Knight would bring a bit more. They’d sell, and they’re just like selling a car wheel....no dealers, background checks, etc. Why don’t you read up on them and shoot them a bit before parting with them? A lot of us really enjoy shooting them, and they can be about as accurate as many modern firearms. Their utility afar outweighs their current value in my opinion. Just he sure to thoroughly clean and oil them after firing, as powder and caps are corrosive! P.S. Make damn sure he didn’t leave any of them loaded before attempting to load them.

Good grief! I think even I could manage to turn a profit with a well known and respected gun and ammo manufacturing business right now.

Find out how the repos are disposed of in your area. Not being in a hurry will usually pay dividends.

Blue's Landing. If it hasn't changed and you enjoy Cajun food, it's worth trying.

Ain't much excitement up here in Macon County either.

Is that bar and grill across the highway from the inn still open? I can’t remember the name of it, but the food there was really good. I really miss the Airpark Inn that burned on Reelfoot Lake. Sorry to derail your thread.

In Paris? Surely these folks were bussed in. When are they going to reopen the inn at Paris Landing? I love it up there.

I do not have the load in memory, but I have also loaded 100 grain half jacket bullets in the 30-30 atop pistol powder. It makes a great varmint and plinking load. If memory serves it shoots really close to the same point of impact as my favored deer load at reasonable ranges. I haven’t shot my old 94 Winchester in a long time. This makes me want to dig it out of the safe.

It was my first gun; an H&R. It also has a 20 gauge barrel. It is cool, light, and handy.

I have a single shot 30-30 and have loaded and shot spitzer bullets in it with good results.

Today, the 30-30 has gained the reputation as a slow, incapable, and outdated cartridge. Truth is that it is just as accurate and deadly as it was 125 years ago. I do not believe North America has produced a creature that can’t be reliably taken with the old 170 grain Silvertip load. What actually happened is that we have largely become slow, incapable hunters expecting our gear to make up for our shortcomings.

Bit of course says this guy planning to build a garage.

There are several of you guys up that way I’d like to meet.

No doubt. I think Oh Shoot would be entertaining as well.

I have to meet you in person some day!

I didn't make that statement because I figured some obscure foreign cartridge might have beat it to market by a few days.

You’ll find early 1899 Savage rifles marked “30 Savage” which were chambered for the 30-30. It definitely overshadowed it’s competitor at the time, which was the 303 Savage. The 30-30 was considered a high speed round at the time, as we were coming out of the black powder age. Although it has a black powder designation, I am unaware of any commercial 30-30 ammunition ever loaded with black powder.

Be respectful of your neighbors and I doubt you’ll have any problems. If you are outside the city limits, I do not know of any reason you can’t shoot on your property.

Those are classics. Congratulations.

LOL! What did the other grip say? Something and "or" or "from"?

Marlin 1894 pre safety in 44 mag or 357 mag.

LOL!

Meh...that one is all scratched up.

TGO David once told me that all Smith and Wesson revolvers look alike too. It hurt a bit, but bad as I wanted to, I couldn’t argue.

Awesome! It looks exactly like every other Glock I've seen.
