I've gone into pawn shops and regular gun stores that have clerks who should be out shoveling dog crap off the grass and others that have some really knowledgeable individuals working there who will take the time to work with a customer the sell their product. There was a place in Sedalia MO that had a great collection of guns on the wall but the clerk was as useless as an out of date politician. I walked around looking at the stuff on the walls and in the cabinets and shelves. Finally I saw one weapon I was interested in and after waiting about 20 mnutes he finally put down the phone with his GF and came over. I saw an old single shot Remington .22 that was in good condition. Showed signs of usage but not abuse, it was clean and tight with no rattle. They wanted $100. at the time and I walked out with it for $25 after dickering with him back and forth. I was out at the firing range a couple of months later and playing with my new toy. An older gentleman came up and was shooting and we got to talking. He said he had one just like mine but had to sell it a few months back when he moved and was getting rid of some older weapons. We got to chatting and he had sold it along with some others to the same pawn shop and needed the money to pay some bills and move. Turned out it was the same weapon that he had sold. It was one his father had given him when he was a young man back around 1930 or so. He said he really missed his old rabbit gun. Before We parted I sold it back to him for what I paid for it. He was extremely happy to have it back and I must admit I was happy although I loved that weapon it was a fun shooter and accurate as hell.

Walked into a backwoods pawn shop & waited for my eyes to adjust to the gloom. The first gun in saw was a Winchester 93. It had seen better days but pristine 93s don't exist. The owner said it was a 97. Not wanting to argue, I waited for him to tell me about all the flaws. I eventually had to stop him before he threw it in the trash. Walked out with a so so 93 for 60 bucks. I was inconsolable.

It was NRA good condition and for some reason I knew I should buy it. I didn't even know what it was but the .58 bore was clean and in perfect shape so I haggled the owner down to 50.00. That was in 1970 I still have it an it's worth around 1500.00 or so.

After many hours of cleaning, I zeroed it in at 200 yards and have shot several 1 inch groups with it at 200 yards, and then tried some slugs at fifty yards with scope on and fired 1 inch high and dead on wind-age.

best pawn shop deal, i got an "italian mouser" (yes, thats how they spelled it) m38 carcano in "dropped in the sand once" condition for $65. they had it marked $100 when i asked them if i could disassemble the bolt to check out the internals. it was covered with thick, dried oil and would hardly move. long story short, couldnt get the cocking piece nut off so i talked them down to 65.

The only pawn shop firearm I ever purchased - a Glenfield version of the Marlin Model 60. light stock dings but pristine bore confirmed with a bore light. clerk said $100, I offered him $50... he asked the boss and it was mine. And I had just walked in there because it was next to the killer mom&pop Italian eatery I just had lunch at and I was looking for a battery for a Ryobi rechargeable drill. Love the videos!

I've gotten that same sort of treatment at a regular gun shop. Dude acted like I was just ruining his day because I asked about ordering a rifle. Dude proceeded to quote me the MSRP, and acted like I was trying to rip them off when I asked if they would match Gander. Gander's prices are high anyways. But I said no thanks, went back to Gander and bought it. Gander may have crappy prices, but the employees have always been great.

I found a Marlin model 60 from the early 80s with the higher capacity magazine tube for $99.00. It is in good shape and needed a thorough cleaning. My best find was a Winchester 1892 from 1906 which was converted from 25-20 to 357 magnum. Paid $50.00 and then $60.00 for a gunsmith to slug the barrel and test fire for safety.

@andrewroebuck85447 жыл бұрын
could you make a video on what to look for when buying a used gun
@connorshatz64697 жыл бұрын
Andrew Roebuck start by looking for large cracks anywhere, check the rifling and chamber by shining a light down the bore, check if there's any frosting on the muzzle, look for rust externally and internally, run the action to make sure it still runs smooth. Essentially look at the internals and look for any major defaults to the integrity of the actual firearm
@---cr8nw7 жыл бұрын
No. Please, don't. It all depends on the gun you want to buy. What you should be looking for depends entirely on what you're looking at. You wouldn't expect a Colt 1903 to have it's finish intact. That doesn't mean it's not worth a few (or possibly several) hundred dollars. But if you're looking at a gun that's only a decade or two old, the finish should be solid. The key is to know what you like and study it. If you like early 20th century pistols, learn everything you can about them. When you see one, you'll know if it's worth what they're asking. You'll probably know more about it than the guy behind the counter.

Nice findings. About a week ago, I walk into a pawn shop to pick up a rifle of mine from pawn and was doing paperwork when some guy brought in a pile of guns. 13 when they counted them. Some of them milsurp. They was a 1917 Lee Enfield No1 Mk3, French MAS 36, Finish Mosin M91, and some other ones. I was on a high. XD Turns out, the guy was selling his deceased brother-in-law's gun collection to get a banjo that he wanted more. Funny thing was it was raining constantly that morning and they had to remove the guns from the car in the rain so they're wet. The shop knew me somewhat but not alot. I simply volunteered to help clean the water with a rag as I wait for the rain to stop cause I now had my gun which would get wet too. So they handed me a rag and I start wiping em off. The one that caught my attention most was the Mosin that had SA marked on the barrel and was not sporterized like the French or Lee Enfield rifles. I knew enough to know that this was Finish from just the marking alone but wasn't sure about differences between models. After hanging around in there for an hour, the guy had his banjo and the shop had to start cataloging these guns in. This shop is one of those that is definitely lacking in the know of what they have. In fact, my Mosin 91/30 was pawned as Mauser Nagant. 😁 Crazy but it could potentially be an advantage as well. Just before I left, I gave em my phone number and said to call me on the Finish Mosin as I was definitely interested. The next morning, after having brushed up on Finish Mosin Nagants and their markings, I went back to see what they truly had on hand. They let me look at it again and it was marked Tikka 1941. It definitely was a Finish M91. There was no price on it yet but the shop said to come back on the 24th and he'd have a price. So I said alright and walked out feeling pretty good. Now I can't wait. :3
