    Question on 696 value

    Hi, I have been a member for quite awhile, but for some reason I stayed away (too long by the way)! Now i am asking for some advice! I have a disabled friend that feels like he can no longer use his firearms and he has asked me to see if I could help him sell them. The one that I know you guys...
