    There were a few good deals but nothing you wouldn't find with a little searching. They did a really good job of getting people to bid the guns up. Sucks for the buyers but it made the auctioneers more money.

    Like every other auction I've been to there were overpriced guns and underpriced guns. They had a like new Browning gold 3.5 shadowgrass 12 gauge with all of the chokes sell for $600. They also had a Ruger number 1 in the RARE 257 roberts sell for $475. The model 42 winchester was excellent and only brought $1250. Ruger 96/22 NIB for $180. Ammo was Cheap. 20 boxes of American arms and wolf .380 for $105. 4 bricks of aguila eley 22 plus a brick of Federal birdshot and 8 boxes of vintage remington .22s for $115. 35 boxes of wolf 9mm $300 Ammo was CHEAP but you had to buy a flat and most guys just wanted a box or two.

    Guess I should have stayed for the ammo! The last auction I went to they sold it by the box and it took forever!
