The Official Status Update Thread: Part 143 - Happy Halloween INGO!

When I was younger, always wanted a 30-30. Don't know why.

The lever gun I stored for a buddy was a 30-30. It will let you know you shot it, in a short little carbine with a steel butt plate.

Those old Winchester 1890 22s bring pretty big money when they sell. The ones with the octagon barrels.

I have one of those. 2nd Model with Octagon barrel. Made I believe in 1906.

It was my wife's Daddy's rifle when he was a youngin...

I thought I had a picture on this laptop, but can't find it. Must have been my old laptop...

Our Winchester 1890 is labeled .22 Long, but it shoots LR without a problem...

I don't know anything about them. They had 3, and they were all different models. I believe one did have an octagon barrel. Whatever they go for, I'm sure I'd could get one cheaper than there. They had Garands at about $1800 and I saw a couple of Enfields over a grand.
After I got back to my feet, I knew there was nothing there for me.

There were a few M1A's at the 1500 and every one was $1700 +................Holy Mother.

wait? what?

Is she happy?

She's happy I went with her, but she didn't buy anything. She has a price from an acquaintance at wholesale, I knew she wouldn't find a similar price at a retail diamond broker. Not a Jewelry store, we went to a couple diamond brokers... She is going to buy her diamond in Chicago 1st part of December when the acquaintance is back in the area..... This guy is from LA

Satellite keeps dropping off tonight.

I would get that 1890 appraised Sam, those things can be worth more than diamonds.

Wifey lost the diamond in her wedding ring in June. Insurance only paid $1000. She has been saving since then for a new stone and now has enough.

Haven't looked in 5-6 years, they were going for around $700 then.

The mention of diamonds always gets the attention of women.

The details in the condition, markings, and year are critical in those guns.

Yeah, I don't get it. I was in a couple of stores filled with them and they all looked the same to me.....
