Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

Traded an M4 for a 72" HD TV last year. Question that decision at times...
 
Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

traded a pss with springfield armory scope for an antique record player and a box of records because the wifes birthday and anniversary were coming up and was out of spending money. Now that I look at the record player I think I got the better deal there.
 
Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

I once traded an Interarms Mk X 30-06 with a Swift scope for sand-blasting and automotive paint refinishing for a bunch of antique cast-iron radiators.
 
Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

In one of his books, the late Elmer Keith tells about someone who traded a copper plated Colt SAA revolver for an indian squaw.
 
Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

Traded a Mak-90 for an International Scout II in 95. What a money pit.
 
Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

Change my guns for any other things ..... hmmm I can not imagine it!

Can I change my car, my couch, my tv, and even new weapons in my fridge, but the reverse does not change at all.

I love my guns, and they provide me with magical moments of pleasure.

PS. Just do not change my girlfriend.

Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

traded a S&W Mod 27 for a truck with a broken transmission. Between the cost of the gun and new transmission I was out about 1200 and I sold the truck for 2500. I think I made out okay
 
Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

I traded a Rock Island 1911 for bullets for another gun once, that count?

OH, and I've traded a number of guns for anal rape, not literally but you get the idea. Don't know how many "I wish I wouldnt have done that one" stories I've got

I hope it wasn't a nice .300win mag that you traded for. Sounds like you got fucked for life on that deal.

That is amazing and I will give you a Playstation 2 for it.
 
Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

I traded a PSS with a Leupold M3 scope for an almost mint 77 CJ-7 once. The old guy kept it in a barn,and I happened to see it and strike up a conversation.Long story short,he was wanting a R700,and well,I wanted that damn Jeep. I wish I still had that beauty.
 
Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

I've never traded a gun for something non-gun, but I did once trade a radio controlled batmobile (weird collectors item) for a Les Baer TRS. That was one sweet deal.
 
Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

35 inch mud tires for a remington 870 tactical express. i bought a new truck and my old rims/ tires wouldnt fit. i just wanted to get rid of them. i had them on craigslist for about 2 months with no success. he called me and said he had this shotty and we made a deal
 
Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

Traded a S&W 357 short barrel snub nose for Hardwood Floor installation - my g/f's brother - was a great trade!!!
 
Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

I got my first tattoo for a ruger 10/22.
 
Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

A pair of Campagnolo bicycle wheel hubs; not even complete wheels!
 
Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

Two Shoei motorcycle helmets, purchased at wholesale, for a SPAS-12
 
Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

Traded a 300WM for a couple of very nice custom knives.
 
Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

Traded a LMT AR for a Bimini top for my boat and traded a snap-on tool box for a PTR 91. Traded another AR for rc cars I think I even traded a gun for some work around the house. AK, AR, and other junk guns are great for bartering. I once tried to trade an AK for a BMX bike but the guy was afraid.

Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

A High Standard Duramatic with broken grip, a Smith and Wesson Model 65 and a Raven .25 -- for 2 ounces of powder cocaine.

And the two guys I traded 'em to were up for parole in just 22 months, thanks to plea-bargaining SA's.

They should have traded for mud tires and a hardwood floor!

Cheers, Sirhr.
 
Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

Traded a VLS 6mm for a Ranch Hand grill guard, Edge performance chip, 4 new tires, KN air system, and aluminum headache rack for my Dodge. I think I did ok on that one.

Traded a R700(late 60's) .22/250 for a snowmobile......wish I still had the rifle.
 
Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

I once traded one for my freedom. I think I got the better deal, but others might argue the point.

Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

Quite a few boxes of 17HMR for a stripped Bushmaster lower receiver. From a value standpoint, the other guy made out like a bandit, but I will always have the rifle.
 
Re: weirdest thing you traded a gun for

Ive traded a .308 bolt rifle for a rice burnin car. Im still driving it to work everyday.

My brother-in-law bought me my Mossberg 590A1 at a pawn shop for me changing out the fuel pump on his Jaguar. I was going to do it for nothing, but he insisted.
