Do you find it easy selling a nice solidly built ml? I wish I could get up the courage to let my Navy Arms Zuave and Armi 1861 Springfield go.....I just bought 1000 musket caps :hmm:

Not easy...always a struggle to let go of something like that...but from time to time I just have to give myself a good talking to and accept the fact there are certain firearms I will no longer use...and since they aren't collector value firearms, it's silly to just keep them around to get stolen, etc...and if something happens to me, in spite of inventory sheets I keep, my Wife would get taken to the cleaners if she tried to sell them, etc.
So I've sold off about 10-15 centerfires & muzzleloaders in the past few years like this...I now know I'm hooked on Flintlocks...it's not a passing fancy and I don't hunt or shoot anything else...have .28 & .20ga Flint smoothbores that I use...just wasn't any point in keeping this SxS .12ga caplock around any longer and I'll keep chipping away at the others
Hi, my name is RiverRat and I am a BPaholic....thanks Roundball...I needed that :thumbsup:
About a month ago I sold a TC Hawken to a guy who used to stop at my desk and BS about wanting to get some kind of muzzleloader.
He said he and a friend had gone to a rondi and he had so much fun he wanted to have something to shoot. I suggested several guns he could consider and mentioned that I had a '80s TC I would be willing to part with. At the time, he said he would think about it.
At the Western Nationals I ran into him. He said he decided to buy my gun, but by the time he got around to where I worked, I had retired.
Anyway, he was still interested so we agreed to a sale. Now, I would never make a good salesman so the agreed on price was the same as what I had paid for the gun. I threw in a powder horn, possibles bag, powder, balls, cleaning jag and nipple wrench (which really boiled down to loosing money on the deal).
I'm happy though. Another shooter has been added to our ranks.
