Inherited 400 guns.

I ran into something like this several years ago. A young man in his 20s inherited several guns and bunch of gun related items from his Grandfather. He didn't know much about them. Just wanted the stuff gone.
I bought a lot of about 2000 rounds of assorted ammo dirt cheap.
Then he had a bag with about 100 assorted pistol magazines, mostly for European pocket pistols that I got for $75. I and a friend of mine got what we could use out of them and I put the rest on GB as one lot. They sold for $350. :eek:
I asked if he had any guns for sale and was told he only had two left. A Luger which he intended to keep and a Walther PP in .32acp. I asked how much for the Walther? He hemmed and hawed for a minute and said maybe $250? I couldn't get my wallet out fast enough! :rolleyes:
 
I won't have a problem with where mine will go. My son's collection will more than double the day I take my dirt nap. I am picking out a few for my grand son for when he's old enough to have them if he shows he's responsible enough to have them.
 
Up here.........

I have double digit firearms, up here I'm an absolute threat to the peace of all living kanadians. I'm classified a gun nut, all of my handguns have been improved by the members of this board over the years, my saws all have boxes, papers and tools for any inquiries up here if I should expire before mother.
I spent a lot of time redoing the wood and the general look of my longies also, just one quick story, I bought a pre 64 30/30, cheap, it was a scabbard gun and it looked like it, I had it reblued a new baseplate and I refinished the wood with the proper winchester stain and the rifle turned out in my eye as good, I took it back to the seller for him to see it and when I took it out of the case his statement was "holy ****" so i figured the time spent was well worth it.
Another thing is making sure my wife has her long gun and restricted license, as y'all know we need to have a license to buy or sell guns also to buy ammo, these are renewed every five years, but if I should expire first she doesn't have to be held accountable by just being my executor and no timeline is required to get rid of them either.
