Where's the best place to sell a gun? I have a Glock 19, holster, etc but I'm not sure where to advertise it. I've never sold one before.

Texas Gun Talk forum has a classified section, as does Surly.

I’ve used Texasguntrader and ar15.com for purchases and sales. Also XDtalk and hkforums but those were for those specific family of purchases.

Glock’s can be sold just about anywhrrr

If your in texas, post the pistol on here, texas bowhunter, and texas hunting forum. That way you can get a face to face transaction.
Would weed out most of the crazies (to a certain point) on texas gun talk too.

I’ve bought and sold stuff on Texas Bowhunter. You have to be a member there though. I’ve also got the tacswipe app, but haven’t done more ham flip through stuff.

Do you have an ar15 account?

I wasn’t complaining about it. I like the app, but I didnt pay any attention to how to actually use it before I started. I’ll be glad when it gets some more users in my area.

Heading to the ranch tomorrow for the weekend. I’m overpacking, but what the hell. Let’s get it on.

That's a God D**m beautiful sight right there.  Something righteous about a 1911 with a can. 

Those heavier barrels on your two bolt-guns (L to R:  2 & 4):  aftermarket?

*I need more guns...but with a new pool going in, and two kids playing Classic League Soccer and all the dues & travel costs they charge.....rocking the old dogs for now.

I have a Winchester 62. It is by far my favorite gun. Just the thought I am handling that old of a gun makes me happy. The thing shoots great and is just a joy to shoot.

Second from left is a custom 375 Wby with a heavy Douglas barrel; gun on far right is a stock Rem 700 BDL .223 with heavy varmint barrel.

Yeah, I didn't really start buying guns until I had family financial stuff pretty well addressed, but I like buying used classic guns that are depreciated out and actually appreciate at or above the level of inflation, so its really a conservative investment. My wife's eyes usually glaze over an she stops interrogating me about gun stuff when I start talking investment strategy.

I regret every gun I've ever sold or parted with.  I regret even more not buying every gun I could pre-marriage.  I had the scratch.  Just never got around to it.  Then it was too late and off to Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware and every other store selling over priced crap we didn't need.

Guys.  Load up before.  Easier.  Trust me....

I'm in the same boat and did basically the same thing, but instead of buying stupid crap, my wife is a mizer/money hoarder. The first 10 years of marriage I didn't buy many guns or hunt much because I wanted to pay off all debt, and she was cool with that. After we'd accomplished that, I started spending money on guns and hunting, and about 10 years later, she still isn't really on board with it. Of course, now I realize I should have made hunting/shooting/gun buying a deal maker/breaker from the beginning.

Mine’s a Winchester 61, serial puts it at 1950:

everyone talks about how great geissele triggers are, found them on sale this weekend on geissele.com.  so naturally I had to get a receiver for it to go on, aero precision has 25% off on combo sets so....I ended up buying over half of the components for a new gun build last night.

Got my Mcmillan sako in edge fill in today. 75 in .270 wsm gonna be dropped in this week.
This thing is crazy lightweight.
Gonna kick a little but be easy to lug around in the hills and canyons of the texas panhandle.

I love my 2 stage on my 300 BO.
I have a single on my 6.8 and while I don’t hate it, I may swap for another Gieselle.

I bought this Ruger Ranch Rifle in 7.62x39 recently.  Wished it had the original furniture.

Got to try my new CZ Scorpion yesterday. That thing is a ton of fun. Any recs on a red dot for it? Seems like that would make it even more fun. 5e0964b3cc5543b76eda707eba782b9f.jpg

Beveaux, check out Midway USA, Brownells, eBay, or Gun Broker for original style Mini Thirty stocks.

Lots of owners discard the originals and sell them off. Make sure it'll match your serial number series (1st three digits).

I dont have pics on my phone, but I have a custom .308 that I covet.  Underground Skunkworks, Kukri.  18” heavy barrel sitting in a Manners stock...its a truck rifle so i threw a NF 2.5-10 on top.  Shoots amazingly out to about 800 and my patterns start breaking apart.  Reliable kill shots on piglets to 500.  

Backstory.  My dad and I sourced our rifles from UGSW when they were just getting started...Mike (owner) had worked for several reputable groups that built actions.  We got our rifles about 3 months late...learned later that several others weren’t so lucky and never got theres.  They ended up out of business, but damn if these thinga dont shoot!!!  They are fucking tack drivers.  Pics later.

Finally got around to uploading pics.  Damn I love this rifle...shoots lights out!  Longest kill shot recorded at 452yds (Prone, shooting down a highline).  We hand-load 168gr Barnes tipped TSX - love how efficiently they kill shit.

*Identity redacted for hunters protection (Bucks family is Gangster)

I have a few Remington 870 Express synthetics, new in the box, never fired, for $250 if anyone is interestedCentex area.

Never had a 7-shooter before, so this little Lipsey's special edition Single Seven .327 Federal Magnum looked pretty neat. Now I gotta get a nice leather rig.... maybe an El Paso Saddlery cross draw?

I can make you one for a lot more than El Paso Saddlery charges, but you'd have to send the gun for me to make the pattern for it. The only plus is that it would be saddle stitched throughout, fit your gun perfectly, and be made exactly how you want.

Dont mean to hijack but could you make me a custom rig for my 4”Colt King Cobra?
That would be sweet. PM me if interested.
Id like to get started asap if so.

Stitching leather by hand takes a lot more time than using a sewing machine, but is far superior in terms of durability.

You have small hands or big hands?  Slowly please.

Finished making a new hunting pouch/possibles bag to go with my Great Plains Rifle.

Nice! Did you flip the pic or is the hammer on the left side of that rifle
It's a lefty rifle. I figured it would be nice not to have the caps going off as close to my face. 

 

Nice, I’ve never seen a lefty hammer gun.

I'm figuring that one day I'll light my chest hair on fire.

Craigslist. They're so hard to move that many people don't take them with them out of state.

I ordered mine off Amazon. Free delivery to my driveway. I guess it was a closeout model, so I got a better price and better fire protection than I could find locally. It was 1000 pounds empty and had to go down stairs that weren't lined up with any door to get into my house, so I ended up paying a local safe place to come move it into place for me rather than risk adding a new set of french doors I didn't need.

I have a cannon hand me down now with a combo turn lock.
Its nice. I know there are some brands that are just as good quality. Id like to keep it somewhere in the $1k range of price/quality with turn combo dial. Heard bad stories about digital locks.
Any suggestions on brands/models in that class?
Thanks,for any help.

Bought my safe at academy. Then argued with someone here that it wasn’t a safe. So whatever.

$600 Canon 48 gun safe that could hold half that. It has a plug inside that I plugged LED lights and a dehumidifier in. Works well for me.

Because it’s an RSV

Deft is correct. I’ve got mine in the same “safe” as you most likely. Keeps people out, and offers a little fire protection. I put it in the area of the house with almost nothing flammable around it though.

Costco safe owner here.  Not the best safe.  Maybe not the worst.  Picked it up when the kids were little, were having friends over, and hide/seek in the house was popular.  Have a few paperwork items in there, but everything truly valuable has been digitally preserved.  I really just wanted a mechanism to keep the kids away and store everything in one location.  Has a digital keypad.  No issues after many years.  

Because it’s an RSV


I get it. I’m using the wrong term.

When the stores start listing them under RSVs, I’ll refer to them as such.
