Hello. Has this been sold yet? What would you say will need attention over the next 2 years? Does it consume any oil? Thanks. Jay

Us old farts have it made. After the brutal end has come, we can stroll by with our tools and simply pick up the unopened cans lying next to the malnourished, deceased bodies of the young. We can leave notes in cursive that they won't understand..... The old saying, "Age and treachery will always overcome youth and vigor!" Jay

I recently moved here. Knoxville Safe House sold me a safe and installed it. They did good work. I was in a time crunch so I didn't price shop at all, so do your own homework on cost. Jay

If you have 20 or more pieces, check with Dennis Kroh at Empire Arms. He buys collections of milsurps and will travel to do it, if large enough. I have bought from him a few times and found him easy to deal with. Understand that your maximum income would be from selling them yourself, at the expense of some time and effort. Getting them unloaded quickly and/or all at once means another party will have to buy them at less than full value so they can also make a profit on the sale of them. If it were me, I'd put one or two up for sale myself and see how it went before taking the 20-40% reduction for a quick bulk sale. Good guns sell themselves. I'm new here but I my experience is that the people here or on any established gun/collector forum are more than happy to help people like yourself with info and resources. Scrutinize closely all of the private messages you are likely already receiving from individuals. Most will deal fairly with you, while a few would gladly use your lack of knowledge and experience to their own benefit. The prices that gnarlytoes posted all look good. Conditions and rare features can vary wildly, causing the broad spread on some values. Condolences for your loss. Jay

Hello. I moved here in April from Austin, Texas. Getting used to having winter again after 20+ years. I enjoy mostly bolt action surplus rifles. Thanks for having me! Jay
