I recently went to a friend's gunshop in my home town and found in the handgun case a USFA Pre-war, mint in the box for $999.00. It was a consignment gun that was there from someone effected by the economy and needed some money. I asked to see it, knew I had to have it and asked if there was any room on the price. The shop owner said that $900, OTD, was the best he could do. I came back 3 days later, cash in hand, along with an old CVA Mountain rifle that I had won. Sold the CVA to the shop owner for $100.00, so I ended up with $800.00 for a mint in the box pre-war.
That evening I called a good friend, told him about my find, upon which he said "You know the guy who owned it! It was me!" I gasped, and told him that I felt like I had taken advantage of a good friend. His response, was "No, I'm happy it got a good home!" I went to my first SASS match in 2 years last weekend, firing my new find and cleaned the first stage, however, I did get 3 misses out of it during the match do to the adrenal rush I was getting, having 4 total misses out of 120 rounds in the match, the best I've ever done, finishing 2nd in the Senior Division ( there were only 3 competitors
).
I feel like I just won the lottery and am very greatful! RIB45
