Getting ready to make a trip up north.....any of you between Alabama and Wisconsin want in on this?

Locust Fork

I'm getting the details planned out so it benefits two people to come pick up collections, so the price is affordable for everyone involved.    Its looking like mid November I will be taking a trip up and pulling a trailer.    It will involve at least three overnight stops to get this done without totally pushing it.    As of now it will be less than $5 per gun coming out of the end of the sales for travel expenses.....so this is a LOT cheaper than shipping things to us.      

We also have a trip to New Jersey sometime in the near future whenever this covid ordeal is under control.      I don't normally post my travel plans, but this one is far enough that it might be worth putting it out there for you guys who are in the path and want us to pick up your items.

Tentative Route(s)?

jimdeere

Not to speak out of school, but probably I-81 to New Jersey.

Locust Fork

Everything is up in the air right now, but we should have routes for the interested people when the dates are set.   Right now if you just google Birmingham to Oshkosh you’ll get an idea of what we’re working with.

Send me a PM prior to your NJ trip. I'm along 81 in Va. & will call friends in NJ for you... AL

We're  1/2 up, on your northern trip on I-65 near  Park city Ky if you need a lay over.

That has me so nervous....and excited at the same time.    I don't see snow where I am (except for that freaky storm in 93.)

n. Wis. here, Oshkosh is about 100 miles...........but I can travel too. depends on the dates

JimmyJack

Im not far from Oshkosh and its snowing here tonight!

Stuck in a blizzard with a whole bunch of guns would scare me. But  then so would securing them at night while I was in a hotel room. I didn't see any way of making that trip without unloading everything every night. What to do in case of an accident if the car was disabled. It was going to be a lot to worry about and that was a month ago when the weather wasn't a concern. Good luck girl.

Depending on your route you may be within a few miles from me. let me know

If you find yourself near Missouri, I have a rifle, I'd like you to list.

.351 Winchester SL used by a Tulsa, OK Deputy who was on a couple stake outs for Pretty Boy Floyd. He also would up with the Bonnie and Clyde guns that his family sold of for some big dollars a few years back.

I run Chicago all the time ,  with the construction going on in Chicago i would strongly suggest going thru middle of the night , midnight to 3am is pretty good,  no stopping to pay tolls right now they have to be paid on line or you need to have a I-pass.  down town ( I 90/94) is terrible , also there is construction going west  on I 90/94) and up I 94 after the split , if you decide to come across I80 up I 294 the northern 1/3 of I 294 has construction on it

Not me but what a great opportunity and a smart idea.  You mentioned you don't normally post travel plans which is also smart but I can see this being a big plus for GBers and You.

I go to Memphis to meet a few different people from Missouri at the Bass Pro Pyramid very regularly.    I'm actually going again very soon.    I've had an Al Capone .25acp.....a registered magnum that belonged to Tom Selleck....several Texas Ranger guns and I'd LOVE to add something with Bonnie and Clyde connections to my history of sales!

I'm an hour and a half south of Oshkosh and you have to drive within a mile of my house to get there. How ever mid November or the weekend before Thanksgiving is deer hunting here.

NeoBlackdog

All you fellas along her route should PM Kasey your contact info just in case she has car troubles or something.   Be nice to know you had friends along the way that'd come help if needed.  
Any chance you'll swing through Eastern Oregon on your way, Kasey?

kannoneer

Sounds like maybe you will end up needing a semi to haul all the stuff. 

gjshaw

I'm guessing that Bushnell Fl would be out of your way to stop and pick some up?

At $5 a gun, that's a lot of guns you're picking up, even with three cheap hotels and fuel.  But hey, you know your business and I don't know Shinola and am from Detroit!

Ricci.Wright

I got the call to run up to a local store to buy some guns the other day......I was amazed when I found they called me to come buy a "new in box" Jiminez.     Yeah, if it weren't for the fact that I was also going out to get lunch for everyone I would have been talking to him.

I need to clean it up a little and find a correct butplate. Will also do some more research on the owner. Then I'll be in touch and can ship it to you. I think it ought to be worth something.

Kasey, next time you are going to be in the Memphis area, give me a shout.  I would love to do a meet and greet with a fellow GB'er.  Also, I believe you would do me justice on selling the IR scope.  Lunch/dinner my treat.  I'm not that far from Memphis as the crow flies.

I'd love to meet up.    I've got two people that I have tentative plans to get with.   I will reach out to them and see if I can get a time set up.

Have a safe trip LF!

Locust Fork

Thank you guys!     Its looking like our dates are moving to the first week of December.    There are a couple events on our side of things and Thanksgiving making the mid-November dates hard to navigate, so if you guys in the path from Alabama to Wisconsin are parting with things we'd love to make things as easy as possible for you while we are in your area.
