Getting rid of a junk gun

[Loosedhorse]

I had an old Iver Johnson...

.32 short hammerless break-top, missing 60% of its nickel. G-d, it was awful: 20 lb trigger pull, ugly, no-accuracy, no-fun gun.

Brought it to a gun show and couldn't get anyone interested in it. So I took it to a Boston gun buy-back. $25 to spend on ammo.

Of course, now I regret it --should have removed the firing pin (easy enough to do) and kept it as a paper-weight. (I'd still have to put a trigger lock on it around here, though, even after rendering it unfireable).

I would never participate in a gun buy-back. Just gives the liberals a sense of satisfaction and media attention. "Look how many evil guns we took off the street today!" I don't want to be one of the contributors to that. See if a gunsmith wants it, or Numrich,even if they don't want to buy it i'm sure they would take a free gun. The nearest big river is also an option.

If it's a cool lamp, that sorta thing, make it into art.

If not, heck, take some anti money.

I would take it to a gun buy back. After they hand you your money, be sure to tell them "Now I'm gonna go buy some ammo for my other guns!"
