    Mini 14 would be the one. It's fun to shoot but it is the only one I have thats not a tack driver, again it's fun to shoot but no winner in the accuracy department.

    Savage 110 Left handed, in 300 Win Mag. has iron sights too. I picked it up for a whopping $140.00 at a gun show in Carson City Nevada in 2001. I know for a fact I haven't ran a whole box of ammo through it. The wood is terrible and the recoil is just rediculous, I am left handed though. I'd even through in the reloading dies, and 300 Win Mag brass that I have. On the other hand, I've never sold a gun, (does not apply to plain jane 870's I've used in trades) and probably never will, I have given away some very nice iron, or permanently loaned them out. That's totally different though.

    A beat-up Glenfield Mod 60 .22 rifle, with the front sight missing. To cheap to get the sight for it, and too cheap to sell it.

    If my wife left me, I wouldn't have to sell ANY of my guns. I'd have more money to buy more!

    MattyTibbs, how much do you want for that .30-06?

    That would be the spanish Royal S/S 16 gauge.
    Other than that - there is nothing I want to sell.
    I don't want to sell this one - a safe is not a safe without a S/S in it.

    Got my Benelli Super Black Eagle and every accesory for it, this is for hunting..
    Got my Ansh?tz .22 - you're not prying that from me either - this one is for practise and hunting..
    Got my danish Krag rifle from 1911 from Copenhagen, I inherited that one from my father.. there is no way in censored.gif anyone is getting that one.

    There may be stray makes and models - but I won't hold on to them unless they're named Benelli, Steyr Mannlicher or Ansh?tz.
    I've found the brands I'm going to stick with.
    Sorry to say they are not US made - any of them. They're fun - but I've got something better.

    I'd sell my REMINGTON MLE 1907-15 ("Berthier???"). Got it from a guy nearby who found it sealed up in his wall. Great shape for the age, and looks like a neat little gun, but as it is in 8mm Lebel I have never shot it and don't foresee that I'll ever have a use for it. I'm not into collecting at this point and would much rather let it go so I could get something more funtional for me (for hunting and stuff).

    So, anybody want it???????

    I've never been so broke that I HAD to sell a gun. I haven't had a wife for 12 years. And the only gun I've sold because of a friend dinging me was a 700 classic 264 win mag. I regret it but after 2 years of his wife begging, she finally offered the right money and down the road it went.

    Weaver arms Nighthawk (my first gun purchase at 18, I thought it looked cool) it uses UZI magazines and never feeds right regardless of type ammo used or the maker of magazine. It's only possible reliable use is as a blunt force object and I would not even count on it for that !
    I have edited this because I gave the false impression that I would sell this albatross! What I meant to say is it is the only gun that I feel that would be helping fight crime if stolen ( unless it was thrown like they did at Superman when their gun's were empty !).[:)]
