Well, it's only 3 days out and I'm starting to get a little nervous. Last week, I was called back to work (going in today). I'll have Thursday off, of course, but Wednesday and thursday will be crazy days for me.
I hope a few of My Minnesota cast boolit friends can make it.

Nice collection JonB - So, is something that will be streaming live for bidding ???

No streaming, this is a Live Auction Only. No online bidding.Originally Posted by captaint
Starts at 5PM CDT ...and will probably over, but for the crying, by 7:30pm.

Dang to bad I am broke, that HiPoint carbine would be fun.
I like #39 with the 79.5" barrel
#25 is a 30 special
typo's can make new and interesting guns quickly!
good luck on your venture
You have my condolences.
Wish I was a couple states closer ! Good luck.
So YOU'RE they guy that was hoarding all that stuff! No wonder we couldn't find any ammo!
Good luck on your auction. Selling my gun collection saved my butt and allowed bigger and better things more than once over my lifetime. Last time I sold a few machine guns and bought a house in the country. Hopefully that's the last time I need to do that.

I am sure it is bittersweet, but if it gets you what you want, that will be sweet. You always can start collecting again.
Any chance on just buying outright I am interested in the 6.5 55 swede.
I have been to Jon's house once. He has a very nice collection. Having been to a fair number of gun auctions some items will go to low and some will go to high so it evens out in the end. Jon I wish you the best of luck with the auction. Didn't see it until today so I don't think I can make it.
I wish I could, but I can't, Contract has been signed weeks ago for this sale, and all sales to my friends ended the day I signed that contract.
BTW, that is a sweet, all #'s matching, 96 with an originally equiped micrometer rear site. I'm hoping it'll go near that $600 area.

To far away or I would be there looks like all nicer type firearms you should do okay.
Best of luck with your sale.
Good luck. I love auctions.
That's exactly what I did. over 40 years, I have amassed some nice guns....always bought quality high condition collectibles. When it comes time to sell they sell and sell high....then I start over again.
Someone once said "...you love your guns but they don't love you back". Quite true.

Good luck with the sale Jon. Several things in your list catch my eye and we are traveling to Minnesota next week, but will not be there for this.

Im right there with you, and stuck in NY to boot
The Truck is all loaded !
I had my friend's Son do most of the carrying of guns and ammo from the 2nd floor of my house to the truck. My Knee just can't handle that many stair steps under load. And I know he wants $$$ to buy gasoline and other 'stuff' that 20 year old kids who still live at home, want ...so everyone is happy.
