Usually go to gun auctions for the educational value. Take along my "blue book" and see what things are really worth compared to what they go for.
Well I got the bug this time and came away having bought THREE GUNS!!! Anyway here is what I got and you can tell me how you think I did or comment on the firearms.
A nearly new Mossberg Plinkster with Mossy Oak Break Up finish, adjustable sights, crome lined barrel and reciever and a schnabel forend (whatever that is) for $110.00
Ram-line Syn Tech 22 LR Semi auto 22 made of synthetic alloys, polymer steel lined barrel, two motion safety, fifteen round mag, fixed sights etc. I bought this mostly because is was so "funky". $80.00
A nearly new Taurus PT22 with hard wood grips. I know this gun gets mixed reviews, but I think it will be fun. For $150.00
The other thing that was interesting was to watch a couple Browning Semi Auto 22's that were "shorts only" sell for 800 plus bucks. I may be mis-understaning how to read the "Blue Book" but it looks to me like the "shorts only" version of that gun should sell for less than $500. Hmmmmmm . . . . .
Life is good
