Gun Shop Debris

If you have ever worked at a gun shop you will remember the boxes of debris, stuff that came in with guns or sometimes folks just give you stuff they don't want in the house any longer. You don't want to just throw it away cause it has value so it goes in a box on a shelf or the floor or any other unoccupied flat space. And a tear or five later you haven't had time to get to it so it lays there, the dust getting deeper. Well my buddy who owns the gun shop, the thirty year old gun shop, has come up with a great way of handling his debris. He walks it back to me. " Hey Brother, can you sell this stuff??" I have a box containing thousands of .45 wax bullets and 150 .45 Colt cases to use with them. These cases use 209 shotgun primers that just set in the case. If you turn one upside down the primer will fall out. I guess one you get them in your gun they stay in place. Oh and I have five or six western belt and holster rigs for single action revolvers. All wrong handed.

Post up a link when you get those "correct" handed gun belts listed!😉
In the shop where I worked, the owner almost never gave the customer the original box or any of the accessories that came in it. I think he just never thought to do it. So every few months, I'd go through the stacks of boxes and salvage choke tubes, wrenches, hard pistol boxes, tools, and much more from the original boxes - guns long ago sold to seemingly happy customers. Occasionally, one would come back to buy choke tubes, pistol box, or one of the specialty tools, and I could just hand them to him/her. Others, I sold for less than retail.
Kasey could have used those boxes.
Long ago I would dive in to the Dumpster at the local GS. Always finding neat things Colt, Winchester, Kimber boxes with stuff in them. Back then that was $$$ at gun shows.
cowboy action shooters with wax bullets ,,use 209 primers
I'm selling things now that were left overs from estate sales that wouldn't sell then.
Here all this time I thought you owned the gun shop.
