Buddy phoned me up when registration was about to be introduced and said "I have this 270 Husquvarna my father gave me and no PAL. Do you want it?" I reluctantly agreed and he gave it to me.
Another buddy decided he was sick and tired of seeing me hunt with "that pea-shooter" 243 I have and gave me a Centurion 300 Win mag. I thought he was nuts and paid him for it.
Then he retaliated and gave me a US M17 30-06 he got in a trade and didn't want.
My daughter inherited a Model 94 30-30 from a family friend, her best friend's grandpa, then moved to Europe and kind of loaned it to me permanently.

OK ...... How bout this?Billy The Kid said:
I once traded a Rem 788 in 22/250 for enough airmiles to get to Whitehorse and back. Another time I traded another 788 in 22/250 for a Belgium Browning Superposed Superlight in 12ga w/26" bbl choked IC/M. I sold the Browning in the States for enough cash to almost pay for an ATV.
Howz them apples?

Sweet rifle!!josquin said:A BSA-sporterized P-14 including a Timney trigger. All I did was refinish the stock and put a better shim under the rear Weaver base. $150.00. Shoots about 1.25" @ 100m with Remington 180gr RN over RL15. It's now at Ellwood Epps being rechambered to .303 Epps.

A Rem 700 Safari grade .375. I paid so little that I tried to pay more but the new owner would have none of it,and held me to our previous deal.
Deal one - A buddy of mine was leaving for Scotland (meeting a woman) and just wanted to dump some stuff for airfare money - a Beretta 950B in .22 short with 32 X 50 rd. boxes of ammo, a Baby Browning in .25 ACP, a Mark IV Webley in .38 S & W and a brand new Browning model 1910 in .32 ACP, all for $200.00. I still have all four guns.
Deal two - back in 1996 from Marstar - buy one Mosin Nagant M44 for $49.00 and get another for one cent! I bought four. They were pretty well all butt-ugly, dinged up surplus guns but they all headspaced fine and shot as well as my other M44's (I had a thing for M44's at the time). Over the years I have traded two, given away one and kept the ugliest but the best shooter.

Here's one of my 'best' deals...
A number of years ago, a friend inherited these but was going to turn them in for destruction... but offered them to me for free, as I had a PAL. Also came with a case of .303 ammo. No good for the second one though as it's a DCRA conversion to 7.62 Nato...
Was happy to save them from the crusher...
