Once again I want to impress upon everyone that I have not spoken to this guy about this at all, ever. This began with one guy asking about one rifle and I was pretty sure he could be fixed up. But my friend isn't a store. He isn't in the gun business. I can't speak for him, but I wouldn't want this to get out of hand. Please let's not have 50 people come on here and say they want one. As I said, I will tell him that there is an interest. If he is willing to part with some of his collection, and if he is willing to go through the hassle of negotiations, packing, shipping, etc. you might be in luck. I personally would not do that; one maybe two rifles is one thing but.......................
Another thing, this guy is a collector and not a penny pincher. When he bought this stuff he was looking to fill voids in his collection. He was not bargin hunting. Assuming he wants to part with a few rifles, don't waste his time trying to buy something for $25, and don't waste his time talking about how you can get it cheaper somewhere else. He knows what he has in this stuff, he knows what the current market is. When I have bought stuff from him, he wanted to get out of it, what he put into it. If he paid $200 and you can buy one now for $25; he still wanted $200 since that is what he had in it. Again, he is not a store. He doesn't lose money to make you happy and is not interested in negotiation.
