There is a great little brick and mortar gun shop in a town about 30 miles south of me which is on the way to where I go visit Dad and I try to stop there periodically, the kind of shop that is becoming rare nowadays.
I walked in and it was clear right away he is closing up, no guns on the racks as they are at auction. There's still a good bit of reloading odds and ends, which I looked through and will likely go back in a few days when I have more time. Among other things were hundreds, maybe thousands, of what appeared to be once fired old paper 12 gauge hulls in good shape from the estate of a deceased avid trap shooter who lived there.
Worth making an offer on? I am beginning to delve into loading my own trap shells, and I can pretty much get all the Federal top gun once fireds I want. Any advantage to these old paper hulls besides nostalgia and that great smell paper hulls seem to produce when fired? I'm pretty sure I could have them very inexpensively.
I hate that shop is closing. Owner is a real nice guy and knowlegeable too. Never bought a gun there, but almost always leave with some reloading doo dad or other when I stop buy.
