Combat Controller and I will be at the Fort Worth Gun Show tomorrow (Saturday 8/23) and Sunday 8/24, selling the guns and such from the estate of the late and much-missed Layabout Sailor.
There are several guns — too many to list here, but a couple are worth mentioning for their value either as hunter’s or collector’s pieces.
Cream of the crop is a Norwegian Krag-Jorgensen in 6.5x55mm Swede:
Second is a Ruger Hawkeye African, also in 6.5x55mm (like me, Jim was a huge fan of the Swede):
(does not include the NightForce scope; double the price for the whole package)
Third is a pre-’64 Winchester Mod 88 lever rifle, in .308 Win:
Fourth is a Parker-Hale Safari Deluxe, also in .308 Win:
And fifth is a T/C Compass in 6.5 Creedmoor:
My apologies for the lateness of the notice, but our table only became available this morning.
(Also, print out this post and bring it along to receive special prices on either the above guns or on ammo, lots of ammo!)
See y’all there.
The Winchester model 88 lever action in 308, thats a damn nice rifle.
I wish I had 1600 extra bucks.
I hope Trump holds his promise and eliminates the income tax. I want to keep more of my money.
I don’t want to feed illegals via stolen tax money from my wallet, I want to buy nice shit after working my ass off every day.
That model 88 is damn nice too, if I am seeing correctly, that is a model made before the fucking bullshit cross bolt safety was added to some lever guns.
Supposed to leave the lever guns in the half cocked mode.
Cross bolt safeties on lever guns like some modern ones are solutions in search of a problem.
That Ruger 77 in 6.5 Swede was on my bucket list but I got the Ruger American II Scout rifle in poodle shooter caliber. Oh well.
I hope these rifles find very good homes.
Any updates on the sale and how it went?
Were the rifles adopted into good homes?
I hope you found good homes for the guns and made a lot of money for his estate.
Yeah give us an update if anything left over…
