Wanted to thin my weapons.

[dennishoddy]

I wanted to sell off some rifles or handguns and got them out and trying to decide which ones need to go
as I want to keep the calibers I like .243-.308-30-06 and .223 then I was thinking I have 2 of the Swedish mausers 6.5x55 and just like the scoped one best with the bent handle and drilled receiver best.

That brings the scope back farther like a regular day rifle.
I should keep the other one for parts. Or maybe trade the straight bolt for a bent one to someone and maybe etc etc.

6.5 creedmoor yea I do not care for that so much and sell it ..then thought I cut the barrel down and man I found a great load for it and shoots tight groups at 200 yards easy and the short barrel swings nicely and I have the good stash of 6.5 bullets.

Darn it how about the 40 S&W Hi-Point carbine and pistol.
EEEEHHHHH I made an ammo can full of ammo for those and my buddy also shoots 40.
And maybe when my grandson gets a bit older he may love plinking cans with that carbine.
Great starter rifle or the 30-06 or .308 with cast loads.

2 30-06 ATR rifles that shoot lights out. I just need one. I probably gift the other to my Daughter-in-law as she loved shooting it. She is 6 foot 200+ lb of tom boy.

On to the 12 gauges. Maybe I have too many I cycled the 2 pumps. Yea I need those maybe the grandson will need one.
I have a bolt JC Higgins 12 maybe that one can go.
Wait I have not even shot it and it is old and has a screw in the wood stock.. may not be reliable.

Looks like my weapons will not get thinned.
I kind of like them and some will make good gifts.

Not a thought in my head about getting rid of the 45ACP or 357 Magnums.

Do you guys get this way?

HAAAILLL NO!

Are the Mausers sporterized?

No they are not.
I can't believe how accurate these things shoot for having a barrel all wrapped in wood.
Way more velocity than that wannabe Creedmoor

Pics of the Swedish Mausers. For fun.

I'll take the one on the left.

I will gladly trad you the one on the left for one configured like the one on the right

I have no such trade material, but if you decide to rid yourself of the left one, please let me know.

You need a 5 day cooling off period.

I just have too much stuff.
I am not angry about anything just thinking if a guy was to bug out or if I had a choice of what gun to get a job done what would it be.

The recent Horse I had to put down with 1 very well placed shot made me open my eyes as to what rifle in a bad situation would I choose.
It was my 18" savage heavy barrel .308 that was chosen.

Not that I think I will ever need to bug out.

I do have way too much yard /shed stuff. I will have a guy sale soon.
Heck I even have 2 perfectly working boats and had 4 boats one time.
I like the 2 I have.

I think I have nearly 60 carburetors and had over 300 at one time.
Crazy.

I’m in the same situation. I have too much stuff and don’t really want to part with any of it. I think every day what it would take for me to make the move from my place here in TX to my place up there, and I already know I would have to have another barn built just for storage.
As far as selling guns, I have several I don’t shoot and probably never will, and I wouldn’t mind selling them but hate dealing with tire kickers and low ballers.

Jeff the gun you sell now is the one that you'll miss the most down the road......Keep Them All !!
