So I made a little gun deal…..

[lowriderfxr]

I had a good friend that passed. His interests and mine were pretty much the same and he had been collecting for over 40 years. I could search gun shows for 20 years and not find this many desirable and collectible S&Ws. I'll miss my friend but I appreciate his family for allowing me to enjoy these treasures that he loves and appreciated for so many years.

Sorry you lost your friend, I am sure he is happy you are caring for his treasures.

Wow

Quite a "little" gun deal! You bought a lot for sure. I'm confident that your friend would be pleased that you got them.

Looks like about a 23 gun deal.Gives all new meaning to the word little! You should show them off one by one..with photos of course. That poor little blue box on the bottom is crying..

Sorry for your loss. Congrats on your deal……. The question is, why is your tv screen facing the wall ???

I took this at my friend's house. His daughter is renovating the house to move in.

Have you seen what is on TV these days, it is better facing the wall. Between the repeats and the news, nothing good is on TV.

That's one heck of a "reading of the Will" surprise. Sorry you had to lose your friend.
Doesn't everybody cover their TV screens when not in use? I know "they" are watching me!
(My wife used one of my aluminum foil hats the other day since the roll ran out.)

That looks like a pretty big gun deal to me. I'm sorry for the loss of your good friend.

Sorry for the loss of your friend. I'm sure that "little" grouping cost you a pretty penny even with friends and family discount. Still, it is an opportunity of a lifetime.

Another reminder

My condolences on the loss of your friend. This is a good reminder that we are caretakers for a while. And its good to keep these treasures in our S&W family

That's exactly what I called it. That why I took a hammer to every piggy bank I had to make this deal.

 

[Valmet]

I'm sure your friend would be happy to see where they ended up.

Sorry for your loss.

...and you would probably trade all of them away to have him back... Have been in the same boat...not much fun...

About 20 years ago a large local shop suddenly had multiples of mainly S&W revolvers and Winchester Commemorative 1894s... Story was that one of their customers came in with all of them. He also had a life time shooting buddy who passed away and one day he got a call from the man's relatives stating that his friend had left all his guns/ammo to him...

He told them he would bring his pickup over shortly and get them...to be told...bring a TRUCK... Seems his friend had been collecting and had a basement full of guns....several HUNDRED...most NIB. The seller had never been in his friend's basement in all those years. There was also three pallets of ammo...

Very sorry for the loss of your friend. But come on, you can't just show the boxes without telling/showing what's in 'em!

That's funny! Maybe I should have gone to school and gotten an actual PHD instead of being a cop so I could better afford this stuff!

 

[Truckman]

My condolences to all, and I feel sure your friend is smiling down on that sight today and from now on...I have a similar arrangement with an old friend here...After expressing my wishes to my remaining family and my old buddy, all were in unanimous agreement to this change in my will after I was released from the hospital after my Covid stay......Ben

Ok, since I am a Smith revolver guy/collector, can you please itemize each firearm. Just list the model at least. Thanks!
