p.s if you have questions about how pawnshops work, not the tv crap, let me know!

If you've got a moment, please start a thread about that. I'm sure there are many here that would like to be enlightened. I hit the shops around here once in a while just to see what's available. Most shops seem to want top dollar for guns. Blows me away to see the same ones in the case after a whole year. I've picked up some good air nailers in the last few years. I recently saw a couple Ruger pistols and a 10-22 that they guy wanted as much as Walmart did for new ones. Granted, the wally world ones are the new plastic, and his was an older metal one, but it was quite beat up. Seems like they really try to double their money on guns.

I traded a Ruger 10-22 straight across for an original 1882 vintage Colt SAA 44wcf, 2 boxes of 44wcf ammo and a pair of original eagle SAA Colt grips. 8)

It would be great if you could fill us in on that on another thread. I have seen beat up old rifles at the pawn shop that are at or above the price of a new one from a box store. Seems to be that way on tools and optics as well. I have yet to find a good deal at a pawn shop and not for lack of trying.

I like the family heirloom ones passed down the best. :hello:

I would have to agree with this. My dad gave his Winchester Model 12, 12 gauge.

My brother and I also both received muzzle loaders this way, I got my uncles TC and my brother got our dad's friends, don't remember what exactly it is. Both of them have daughters that weren't interested in hunting, so giving us their guns allowed them to get new ones.

 An almost new Remington 700 .223 rem stainless laminate, 26" heavy barrel and a leupold 3-9 VX1, bought it from a co-worker who needed money, $250.00
 I have a 6.5-20 Nikon on it now and the VX1 is on another rifle. He hadn't had the gun 2 months when I got it.

#2 12 years ago or so picked up a sporterized 6.5x55 swede at a yard sale for $65, wife shoots sub MOA groups with it using cheapo silver box federals.
Just read this entire thread and this is the one that makes me really chuckle.

Anyhow, was on the prowl literally for years for a S&W M13 3" round butt .357 Mag "FBI Gun."  The place where I bought it had priced it as a 4", which were a dime a dozen back then.  Got a $400 gun for $165.  :IBCOOL:

I was hanging out at a pawn shop talking to the guy behind the counter and another guy overhears me say that I love old Remington's.  He tells me he has an old Remington that he cant find the parts for, and if I want it I can have it.  I asked if he had checked Numrich, he said he had.  We arranged for me to get the gun and it was a Nylon 66.  All it was missing was the magazine follower and plug assembly $20 with shipping from Numrich.  I know it is not as exciting as some of your deals, but that is the best deal I have gotten.
There's a reason they call it hunting, not killing.
