**PREFACE** I've never sold a gun before.
I happened upon a pristine example of an early Ruger 10/22 yesterday. It's a low 6 digit seral number made in 1968 with hardly a mark on it, nice walnut stock, steel butt plate, etc.
The price was too good to pass on ($150) so of course I brought it home, along with a neat old all matching 1927 Sistema Colt - to say it was a good day would be an understatement!
What to do with my current 10/22? I've had it a few years and there's not a thing wrong with it, I just don't see the point in having 2. I've rationalized several of these type purchases over the past few years by telling myself "I'll give it to Zach (my nephew who's 7) when he's old enough". I've also managed to double up on a couple other guns (pre safety Marlin 1894 44 Mag & S&W Model 17) where I've hung on to the first gun, but this is starting to get rediculous!
The kid's already got quite a gun collection and he doesn't even know it yet
