Stirrer of the Pot
It wasn't easy but over the last few days I've parted with 4 of my firearms <quivering lower lip>. They had become safe-queens and were collecting dust. I know some people that'll put them to better use than I would. Here's what I sold:
- My Springfield M1A. This rifle deserved a better fate than that of a plinker, which is what I was using it for. A close friend of mine has gotten into hunting (especially wild pigs) and had wanted to buy this gun from me for a while now. It will now prowl the wilds of Florida and Texas in search of 4-legged targets.
- My Ruger Security Six .357. I bought this gun used a while back and it had become redundant. Fun to shoot but my friend's wife (the guy who bought my M1A) likes revolvers and enjoyed shooting this particular one. It'll now be the gun she keeps within easy reach at their house.
- My H&K P2000SK. 95% of the time I pocket-carry, meaning that 95% of the time this fine pistol sits at home. Another friend of mine will us this as his EDC.
- My Draco "C". This was second Draco I bought and I knew I'd eventually sell it . I think I made a $20 profit on it (cha-CHING!). A friend of a friend was recently bitten by the AK bug and came down with a nasty case of Kalashnikov-itis. I saw him suffering from this terrible malady and had to give him the cure.
I'll be adding a few more firearms to my collection in 2012. I'd like to get a 1911 (a real American .45 1911. I already have an excellent 9mm Spanish copy from 1953), a classic bolt-action military rifle....either a Lee-Enfield or a Springfield 1903, and possibly a single-action cowboy pistol. No hurry, I'll wait 'til I find the right gun at a deal I can't refuse.
