Sad auction

Here are pictures from a local auction recently. The fire was not very good to the guns.

ouch, feel for the owners. i had a house fire about 3 months ago. guns had minor water damage. just got lucky, had the fire been a few feet over all guns would have looked like these.
sad

Did they sell?

 

[deere140]

Yes, they sold. I think it added up to about 400 for the two piles above. The magazine pallet brought about the same. There were lots of helmets and other items, it appeared to be a large collection.

I would have paid that for the guns. If you just save two you could make some money. I saw some bull barrels. You could shine them up and they would be fine. Wish I could have been there.

I got a FN 49, it was in the best condition of the lot- no stock though. I had never heard of it, but it looks like I did pretty good at $60. I also got a Buttler Creek 10/22 stock for $15. Overall they were worse in person than in the pictures.

They need a good blast and paint job, with I could have been there!

Are those guns lying on hospital gurneys? How appropriate.

Good opportunity to buy a few for the next Turn Your Gun In For Cash program.

I'd be very leery of buying ANY gun that had been in a fire.

soonerfan85 has the right idea

Hope somebody turns those in at a "buyback" for $100 a piece!
