My 'best deals':
1. Mosin Nagant. I wanted to pick another, but this is just too much 'bang for the buck' in a firearm. A high powered, collectible, historical rifle for $100 (well, used to be).
2. S&W model 10 police trade-in. Under $300 for a quality smith.. and this was earlier this year!
3. I'll have to add my Browning A-5 to the list.. used, wasn't cycling well, has a moroku barrel, 1956 model, just needed cleaning (and polishing the chamber). Cycles perfectly now, & the old classic is still fun & functional. $250, off local classifieds.
