There is An Upcoming Gun Show...

 ...for which I have reserved two vendor tables. As usual, I will bring along some ammo, some firearms accessories, some firearms manuals & firearms books. Of course, I also will bring some firearms.The thing is, I have a few that I have been trying to sell for several shows now with no luck. They are of excellent makes & models, in popular calibers, are in excellent as new condition (in fact one is unfired), each has the box & papers, and I have truly great prices on them; yet, they have not sold. So, I am going to bring along some other guns this time. The thing is, I do not want to sell most of my other guns if any; so, it is going to be a difficult decision to make as to which ones to bring along to put up for sale.

 

I do have at least one that would be an easy choice among guns I have not yet offered for sale. That is a Colt 1903 Hammerless in .32 AUTO. It is a pretty nice gun in very good to fine condition but the thing is, I took it apart and for the life of me have been unable to assemble it. I called a local gunsmith to ask what he would charge to do it, and allow me to watch him assemble it. I do not recall the exact price he asked but he wanted over $100. Screw that greediness to do a half a minute to one minute job at most. Sooner or later, I will get it back together and then I will sell it simply because I did not like it once I received it. 

 

Then there are the rest of my guns, all difficult to choose from: 

 

I've got an Arsenal AK-47, only AK I own right now; I am not about to sell it. Keeping it for the Zombie Apocalypse😂.

I have 11 Beretta pistols. I doubt I will sell any of them, except maybe one, because one that I have been trying to sell is a Beretta 92FS Compact L Type M pistol and it has not yet sold. I am asking a going price from what I have seen of the prices after doing an advanced search on Gun Broker to show all the same that have sold over the past year. Mine is in like new condition. Yet, no sales although there has been some interest, just no money. As for my others, I do not wish to sell any of the other Beretta pistols.

 

I own two Charter Arms revolvers. One is a .44 S&W Special Bulldog. I love it. It is at the ready somewhere in my home (not telling now because where it is needs to remain a surprise for any home invader). The other is a Pathfinder in 22 LR. It is a nice 22 revolver that I probably like too much to sell.

 

I have a Colt Detective Special, 2nd variation but the thing about it is that it is special to me. I very much like that model. 

 

Then there are my Glocks, two G26 pistols and two G19 pistols. Right now I carry either one or two Glock pistols whenever I carry (which is as often as I can legally). Why sell what I carry and why sell the redundant ones. The best back up is the same as your primary carry or at least one, if semi-auto, that takes the same magazines.

 

I own three Henry rifles. One is a lever action in .22 WMR, another is a U.S. Survival rifle in 22 LR and the last is a Henry Big Boy, U.S. Border Patrol commemorative in .357 Magnum. All keepers.

 

Then, there is my Intratec TEC-9 mini, in 9mm Luger. I am more than willing to sell it; it is in excellent condition and would be sold with four magazines, two of which are OEM, the other two after market. Everything gun & mags work properly, I tested it at the range recently. The thing is my son may get this one - not for free but at cost or less; time will tell and if he takes it, it obviously will not go up for sale at a gun show.

 

I also have at least one each of these brands: Keystone Arms (been trying to sell it but the retail is way too high and my low ball price is obviously not low enough, even though it is at least a hundred and a half under retail); Marlin (in .35 REM, my hunting rifle of choice for deer or black bear); Mosin Nagant (a keeper - Hungarian); Ortgies (fun pistol, sentimental value); Rock Island Armory (one of only two 1911s I own); Savage (one of the guns I have been unable to sell); Yugo & Norinco SKS (maybe will sell one but which one); S&W (they have sentimental value); and Stag Arms (defensive weapon, another Zombie Apocalypse gun, it is not going to be sold). In addition there are at least several Remingtons (defense & hunting guns, including one dream gun Model 81); and a few Rugers (defense, hunting, sentimental) among my assortment of boomers.

 

What is a guy to do, I like em all and if you could really love a gun, then I love at least several of them. Maybe I will just keep trying with the ones I have already offered for sale but that have not sold yet. Then again, Maybe I will flip a coin for each - heads to sell or tales to not sell. Decisions, decisions, decisions! 

 

All the best,
