I got my Garand that way, and I wish he still had it. More than that, money was real tight when I was unemployed after moving up here and I had a buyer for that and only that gun, so it went. Gotta pay the bills and feed the kids.
I would have sold any other gun 1st, but no avail and no where near as much money.
I know Dad would understand as he once traded his Korean bring back Mosin nagant for a guitar for me......
I know about cleaning a gun, especially an auto and I felt real sheepish about relating the story. That is also why I want a wheel gun for home defense. Though an AK has a real good shmit yer pants factor when you pull it out on an intruder....
