Title: Ammo collection
Post by: Labs07 on November 18, 2013, 02:40:25 PM: My dad passed my grandpas ammo collection down to me but I have no clue what anything is worth. I am looking for someone in the spokane area who might be willing to take a look at what I have and give me a estimate of what things might be worth.

I kept everything I thought would be important to me at the time and sold some stuff..

I regret it to this day. Old sights, dies, even screws that seemed meaningless at the time are priceless to me now.
