After the marijuana dispensary robbery grocery acquisition earlier today, my criminal behavior continued unabated for a good portion of the afternoon in the company of Friend Of This Site Rick Tunell, AKA Buckshot. In blatant violation of County and City decrees, he dared to LEAVE HIS DOMICILE and park his new Ranger in my very own driveway, then call my cell phone to announce his arrival. I said HERE--HOLD MY BEER DIET COKE and opened the drawbridges (garage doors) to allow entry. Yes, we were scandalous. The social distancing guidelines were largely followed during his display of the 3 VERY NICE firearms he snagged late last week at our local reloading & war toy emporium. These came out of an estate sale, and he did VERY WELL both price-wise and quality-wise.
1) 1909-made Winchester Model 1886 in 45/70, Lightweight 2/3 magazine variant with straight grip, 24" barrel. Un-messed-with, about 95%. NICE.
2) 1956-made Winchester 1894 in 30/30, classic 20" barrel and straight grip. Un-messed-with, 95%. NICE.
3) Late-70s-made S&W Model 10-6 x 4", 38 Special at 95%+, slight holster wear at muzzle. All original.
I emphasized that at any future time he felt the need to dispose of any of these arms to make sure to not keep that info a secret, and that I would be good for money to enable same. I am happy for him. Goodness, that '86 was SCREAMIN' at me.
