My best garage sale find ever was in Talihina OK. An old 1897 pump 12ga shotgun with a 32" barrel that had a screw missing out of the wooden slide so it wouldn't stay put. I asked the guy what he wanted for it and he said $35 bucks so I handed it to him before he could change his mind.
Ordered the screw from Brownells for 4 dollars and away we went to the turkey woods. That thing would pattern #4s like crazy.
Years later I inherited a rather large collection and decided I had too many 12ga shotguns and sold it to a good friend of mine. He told me he would sell it back to me when I am retired. I keep reminding the a-hole I am retired now but he never mentions it. LOL He is a good guy though and I have heap big plenty.
