I need to start going to pawn shops. I hear of people finding good guns and tools; probably more on the tools side. Either way, I need to start checking them out as I never do.

I'm telling you, it's a waste of time.

They are all crooks.

Yep, today’s experiment was a bust. I had to try to settle my curiosity, it had been years since I’d looked in a Pawn Shop. This one even advertised about all the guns they had. Sad, pathetic little collection of what looked to be crime scene evidence. Only thing remotely desirable was a Berretta 21a, they wanted $399 for it. Eek

I came across a beat to hell Remington 700 ADL in 30-06 at the pawnshop near my office when I worked for the newspaper. It was marked $250 and I offered him $200, plus he throw in a case. ( I was on my lunch break and didn't want to upset the liberals at the office)

I've hunted with it for close to 15 years and killed quite s few deer with it. It looks rough but I can hit a quarter at a hundred yards with it. That's plenty good for my deer hunting.




Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago.

I agree, but you can have fun with them. Offer them 1/3 and be persistent like they are......then try to get the stuff for half.......hehehehe

You know, I didn’t think of a Remington 700. I could drop it into a Magpul stock and have some fun with that. Maybe I should go back Razz

The ones near me are full of overpriced junk that looks like it had just been traded in by some gang banger. Anyways, there's one shop in an adjacent town that I used to go to when I was going through my revolver phase. They had some nice S&Ws and Colts, but they were also on the high side ($). They were always willing to negotiate the price, and bought a couple of Smiths from them after some haggling, but wouldn't call them deals.
