Wow! Saw an old Remington pump 22, likely a Model 12 that was WAY past rough and looked as if it had been dipped in acid. The thing had no finish and was solid spots and some rust. Had an $850.00 price tag. Ridiculous. Went down the road to Frog’s Pawn and they had a decent Kimber Micro 9 asking $900. I bought very clean used one last year for $450. Just nuts. Stan’s had a Lefevre 20 gauge side by that looked interesting so I asked to see it. “Salesman” handed it to me and the stock shifted about a half an inch. Looked at the guy and said “boy that’s a problem”. He answered “oh that’s normal for these old guns.” Horse Pucky! I have more than a few guns that are over 100 years old and have handled maybe 1,000 more and this was by far unlike anything I’ve ever seen…….and this bozo thinks it’s “normal”? I didn’t say a word, handed it back to him and walked out the door. What a complete waste of my time. Idiots!! <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😂" title="😂" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f602.png" /><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😂" title="😂" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f602.png" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
