It always pays to ask

Was set up at Tulsa this weekend and was stuck to the table most of the time. I did get a couple of great deals on shotguns and found time to run over to a guy clearing out a bunch of parts and accesories. The best deal was a Remington 870 express magnum. Guy had painted it in some God awful brown and black camo. It is ugly but no one asked him about it and some laughed at it to his face. He was P.O.ed and I struck up a conversation and asked what he wanted for it. I got it for 100.00 and a cold pop. Looking at the bolt , trigger and lifter assy it's like new mechanicaly. The guy was just tired of people making fun of his gun. Anyone else get any goodies this weekend.

    I did get lucky enough to find the used gun cases I passed over the first time at the gun show. I got 4 cases for 20.00, not bad at all, saved a bunch of money. Nothing at all wrong with the cases either.

    I've never been hesitant to ask - the worst that can happen is the seller can say "no." Sometimes one gets lucky as you did. And sometimes the seller is a real jerk, in which case one can have a good laugh at their expense, which really ticks them off!

    Jackson,Mississippi: Slow overall but some serious bargains to be had. I saw most everything priced very reasonable and vendors ready to swap, haggle and cut cash deals. Two trips to the ATM on this visit. :D

    I picked up an "as new" in the box Belgian/Phillipine Browning Hi-Power (Standard) with two hi-caps for $400.

    Browning Citori's (12ga.) all hovered around the $1000 mark.

    Browning BSS's hovered around $800 and I came within a whisker of buying one.

    Not much ammunition to speak of. I was hoping to find some high brass 16 gauge dove loads, NONE and dove season is two weeks away, WTF? Oh well, fun-fun-fun.
