Small pawnshop find

[SPQR70AD]

Most pawn shops want to get rich on every item around me. Gun shops usually have better deals.

that is exactly what I have seen over 30 years in different states. dont where these guys are getting these deals. pawn shop owners are usually slimy thieves

I’ve always been wary about pawn shop pistols. Some yo boy pops a store owner, unloads the pistol at a pawnshop. Next thing, cops are kicking in my door.
And that cant sell to a pawn shop without id… pawnshop owners are slightly above chop shop owner’s integrity.

I had an experience with an AR15 I bought from a LGS with whom I've done business for decades. They bought a collection of (stolen) guns from someone and local law enforcement was on the trail. I got a call from the store manager asking if I still had the rifle. So, the deal was they would give full credit including sales tax on what I paid for it, but it had to be turned in to them. I didn't have to deal with the cops at all. I actually ended up with a higher quality rifle they had in stock as a result. Sh*t happens.

Store credit is bull. You returned the rifle, saved their *** and they still got your money. Glad it worked out for you but Id have said “Oh want this rifle? Give me my money and I will also take that one on the rack”.

I hear ya. I had a long relationship with them, bought many guns at often very low prices and had no axe to grind with them. I bought my first muzzleloader from them...in the 70's....that kind of long relationship. I didn't want to add fuel to a fire they were trying to put out.

Cant fault that. You had history with them, makes you a stand up guy. Kudos. Seriously.
