Went on my standard weekend journey today. Flea market in the morning and pawnshops on the way back home. Found a new hatchet at the flea market.
Hit the first pawn shop(My favorite one, by far) and he had some pretty nifty stuff that I may have to stick on layaway.
Ted Williams Model 300 Semi-Auto 12ga that looks like it just came out of the box for 150
Star 9mm, I don't know a lot about these, but looks like a smaller 1911. He gets these every now and again from a wholesaler in PRK. 250 for it
Those were the only two that really caught my eye, but I did end up with 2 30rd AK mags for 20 bucks. I've got to hit one with a dremel to make it fit right though.
Came back to town via the scenic route. Found a hole in the wall gun shop that I didn't know existed. It appeared that no one was there, called the number on the sign, no answer. I may have to trek back that direction when I get an answer on the phone.
Got to the next Pawnshop, I like this pawn shop, other than one guy that works there. I don't care for him, but that's neither here nor there.
Lots of interesting stuff, but I think it's under new management or something, because all the tools and firearms are getting pricey in there(think 249 for an M44 or 91/30). Had a nifty .22 that the wife thought was spiffy. Looked like and AR, and definitely not worth 200 bucks.
They also had a 336W that the wife liked, but it didn't fit her right so I had to pass.
Off to the last pawn shop. I had a grudge with this pawnshop for a long, long time and just recently started shopping there again. They always have some nicer guns that aren't too pricey, some are, but there are some deals.
Found a Colt Army Special for 499. With Pearl Grips. It locks up tight, but I'd never seen one that was DA. One of the guys that works there enlightened me on it. He'll admit he doesn't know everything, but he's got the internet and books. Mfg 1924. I like it, but not in the budget for a safe queen.
He had a P90 that was in pristine condition for 299. The saleskid gave me free reign to field strip it and check it out. I don't think the manager liked that too much. After debating on the price for a while, I backed out on it.
He also had a lever action Mossberg .22. I'd never seen one like that before. Pretty slick and it still may end up on layaway.
The wife came over about that time and saw a Hipoint 9mm in with the handguns and thought it was cute(go figure). I didn't make any deals on it because I don't know how to strip it and check it out. Came back about 20 minutes later and got it out the door for 129. She likes it, but for a wondernine it kicks like a damn mule. My .45 doesn't have any recoil compared to that little sucker.
Anyways, thought I'd share my day. Scored a new hatchet for 4 bucks, 2 30rd AK mags for 20 bucks and a HiPoint 'wondernine' for 129 bucks.
