2024 Firearms Review- Let's see what you bought / What did you sell?

Moo Moo: Thanks. Consult and surgery are 1/9 and 1/10. Of all the collateral effects, the delay in transplant is the least bothersome. Not being able to drive the platform for our RV, losing my condition, and not being able shoot the Marlin and the impact on my accumulated leave are all worse.:(
 
I think this must be the record! Very impressive haul.

Sometimes there is a loooong dry spell and other times, it’s hard not to trip over them. 2025 has started out even better. A High Standard shotgun at a New Year’s Day auction, and a S&W Pre-18 on Jan 2. Those are two guns that have been at the top of my priority list for years and I’ve come up dry. Now watch, I won’t get anything for months.
 
I just added two pistols. One is a SIG Sauer P220S Sport from the old Mastershop in Eckernförde. I had been inside that factory and saw how the guns in the mastershop were assembled and was impressed.



The other is a Nowlin Action Elite in .45 ACP that impressed me with its quality and fit.
 
Not Much, But A Good One

I haven't been doing much buying since retiring, but I did stumble across a great deal on this superb condition Remington 81 Woodsmaster in .300 Savage.

On the deficit side, I didn't sell anything, but I "re-homed" a couple .22s to some good friends with kids just coming up on shooting age. One was a Ruger Wrangler and the other was a Marlin Glenfield M75.

also got a few scopes, reddots, grips, holsters and rebuilt my portable reloading stand..
 
I bought about a dozen guns in 2024, and consigned seven for sale on GunBroker to Sarah15 (Jim Brewster on this Forum).

The interesting thing to me is that the first gun that I bought in January was a 2" Taurus revolver in .327 Federal Mag, and the last gun that I bought in December was a Henry Big Boy with a 20" barrel in... .327 Federal Mag.

I must be getting old! I forgot the best one; a 1908 Brazilian Mauser that is unissued. 7x57 is a great cartridge and the quality is from another time.
