I got my Mossy 835, standard synthetic nothing special, for $160 and it was in near perfect shape, just super dirty, then I found a camo 24" barrel with adjustable fiber optic sites for $45 shipped, and while I was at Cabelas they had a nice ultra full choke, undertaker, for $6 after all the discounts in the bargain basement.

So for $210 I got a fairly nice shotgun setup exactly like I want for nearly half of what it would have cost to buy used. I have since modified an 870 boyds thumbole stock to fit it, $12.50. Works great but I need much longer fingers.

I watched a 03 Springfield custon 358 Norma for a year, the barrel was in the white and the stock was inletted but not finished shaping or any finish onit. Over a year the price dropped from $225 to $175, I was going to offer them $125 when it dropped to $150. The rifle disapeared/sold, another year passes the rifle shows up on the rack again compleatly finished, it was a beauty nice figured walnut deep polished blue, the pricetag was $125 and $70 for 2 1/2 boxes of shells, walked out of the store with it and the shells for $135. Picked up a set of dies and never had to buy shells again. Shot it for 10yrs and sold it for $450. w/dies and 40rnds heavily used empty brass.

Walked into a muzzle loading gun shop and there was a nice little 20ga O/U on the rack, the owner said someone had traded it for a ML and he just put it on the rack. I looked at it thinking it was a Browning Citori, my wrong it was a Begium Browning Superposed Lightning, at the time they were selling for $1600 used. He was asking $700 and I walked out of the door with it for $600. Good thing my gun fund was flush that week.

Post by: fremont on May 02, 2010, 09:53:50 AM: My best deal was a S&W Model 13 .357 Mag 3" round butt blued revolver....."FBI gun" (before they went to autos in the 80's). Can't remember exactly price but believe it was under $150. The dealer thought it was a 4", and those are a dime a dozen. Not the 3" RBs, though! 8)

Sits nicely in a custom speed scabbard holster.
