    Side note to all of the above - one man's junk is another man's treasure. I frequently see old, worn out, should be thrown away firearms (mostly handguns) brought to the shop. Their owners ask about getting them put back into shooting condition only because the firearm was originally owned by their great-great-great-grandfather's fourth wife's cousin, twice removed. These owners are as anxious to get their prize back into working order as every other customer seeking repair service. Don't dismiss these older handguns as worthless, several of them could bring in respectable money to be used as parts donors.

    I must agree with blanket on this would never sell a gun at a gun but back. Have thought about setting up and paying five dollars more than they do but figured I end up in jail even if it's Legal. Some of my and the wife's favorite guns are cheap ones. Wife loves rg 32sw that I paid $25 for my new favorite little plinking gun is erma ep25 that I had to go all out and spent a whopping 50 dollars for these are just plain fun to go plinking with.

    If you decided you dont want to keep them, you might find a small time gunstore that would give you a reasonable price in either cash or trade for a "lot" of them. Then, if any of them happen to be used in a crime later on it cannot come back to you. I personally will sell F-F here in KY, but I wouldnt want to sell a box full of saturday night specials 1 at a time to whomever.

    OH OH. I'm gonna die and go to the hot place for selling a pistol FTF to a guy in Georgia. Y' all pray for me.

    On a more serious note, the gunshop in Georgia has to send the pistol to an FFL here in Alabama for me to pick up. The same goes for internet sales.......

    Mary, gotcha covered. I am finally moving into the rebuilt house next Tuesday. It took what seemed like forever but it looks good.

    Except for antiques and C&R to a licensee. Sounds like all of these may qualify for one or the other. If you have a functioning 32 S&W PM me - only 50+ years old for C&R.

    Yes, but the UPS left the box out in the rain, it was broken and most of the small parts were gone. I did get one put together and am using it. The broken one is essentially useless. The bottom is the same as both the new and the old, and that is what is broken. If I can find a bottom piece (the cast piece) I could put it together, but then would need a turret because that was gone.

    That's really bad, there was enough parts to build a complete press. I really thought it was packed tight.
    I am sorry.

    I have a long-time appreciation for 32 caliber revolvers. From all my years of dealing with firearms I had never heard that RG offered a 32 caliber revolver, much less seen one. That must be a really neat package. I have several 32s by different brands and will usually look at another to add to the herd. A local shop has 2 S&W I-frame 32 revolvers. One looks close to unfired while the other appears ready to be a parts donor. The shop owner and I have been haggling over the price of these for about 5-6 years now - he will not sell them to anyone else until we come to a decision on these (they are stored in his office). Neither of us is in a hurry to end this discussion. We catch lunch together once every week or two. Lunch usually begins with discussion on whose turn it is to pick up the check, who paid our last time out, etc. Next we haggle over Mexican, Asian, or whatever flavor each of us is in the mood to find. Lunch discussions focus mostly on family activities, when and where either of us plan our next vacation run, and least of all business or trading.
