With the old mauser on here I figured some folk on here might like this, it is really not a "surplus" type forum, but I thing "gun guys" are basically gun guys and like about everything.....so here we go.
Most of what I do is in the surplus area, I do have an 03FFL and that makes getting the things I like so much harder on the wallet.....err more easy....yea that's it.
What these pics show is how you get a "gun" if you order from one of the larger auction houses, I have done both Morphy and Rock Island and both ship about the same.
If you buy a bolt gun the bolt will be removed and packaged on its own. I have bought both hand guns and long guns and both are packaged like the photos show. If you buy a rifle with a scope again it will be packaged on its own, and the rings will be again in their own package.
The box is for a long gun. Naturally the dogs need to inspect it first, the little one is Remington, the big one is Recon, Recon has crossed the rainbow bridge, she was a good girl.
Just thought you folk might enjoy seeing this, this specific example came from Rock Island Auctions, and there is one coming up tomorrow, but don't bid on anything I am looking at.
Inside that cocoon is a rifle, a long heavy rifle.
And there she is in all her glory.
And here she is on an early trip out, she did not do too bad for an old girl, minute of Indian was easy.....and it really is what it was used for.
