Offer him $2000 for the bunch. It's a one stop gold mine, and would take years to find that group again.

I wish I had the space. I'm thinking two gun safes might be suspicious.

No 5 for me! Then No 1.

i'm liking #5 as well. but any would make a great addition!

I would go with #3 I like the heavy step down barrel.

I recon it's really tough to bring them in from Australia without an importer's license. But it's fun to think about...

Heck, a friend of mine spent about as much (in $US) as that whole MN collection on a Beretta Xtrema shotgun (a helluva shotgun incidentally).
