Well, I managed to fall into another incredible deal on a gun today...
A buddy of mine calls me up and says his mom wants to sell his late fathers 10/22 - would I like to buy it?
I ask how much and he says - "Well, she said she'd sell it to you for $100.00"

Now, I've seen this gun, it's a six digit - SN 1228** - a 1967 walnut stock, MINT 10/22 - maybe 50 rounds through it... just a really sweet specimen...
I say, you don't want it?
If it's a question of money - I'll buy it FOR you...
He says "No, I have his Marlin lever action rifle... and if she's going to sell it - I'd like to keep it in the family..."
So, I avert my eyes and say "You know, just a plain Jane used 10/22 will fetch between 200 - 250, depending..."
He says "Nah, she said $100.00 - so you should buy it now."
Well, if you gonna put it that way..."

So, I gave him $120.00 for this:

"Really" LNIB 1967 Ruger 10/22 with walnut stock in original box and maunal - and an unopened Ram-Line 30 round mag.
