Been there done that, get your deal solidified, went to an estate sale for a range member, We ( club members ) were to get 1st pick, anonymous buyer bought all the guns unseen, then we went for the sale of the large parts collection and within 20 minutes a buyer bought it all for dirt cheap, 3 pickup truck loads, we could only buy what we had in our hands. Don't play, go for it.

Yeah, that's my fear here.  I did all the work and now that he knows what he has he is thinking through other options.  I'm a third party on this however, since I'm helping a friend, who is helping his FIL who is helping this gentleman.

Ah well, if it works, it works...

As long as your asking for a deal, just right of 1sr reusal on a reasonable offer, it "shouldn't" be a proble,. one hopes.

Hooray!

Our bid was accepted.  Here's what I'm getting:

1918 US Army Colt 1911
Winchester 94 (pre-64)
Remington M1903A3 - already have one and will keep the one that is the best, sell the other
Winchester Model 1890
Franchi 48AL - will likely sell this one
Browning BAR, unfired, Belgian manf 30-06
Ruger Mk I from the 1960's
Ruger Single Six from the 1960's
S&W M37 Airweight

Here's what my buddy got:
Browning 1895 - I really wanted this but defered to my buddy
Model 1884 Trapdoor Carbine  - I really wanted this but defered to my buddy
No 5 Enfield Jungle Carbine - I really wanted this but defered to my buddy
Scout single shot break open
S&W M1917 - I already have one of these...otherwise I would have bid.  This one is pristine...absolutely beautiful

I didn't get the Spencer...owner pulled it out of the bid.  He wants to negotiate separately...I think this is the firearm he is most knowledgable about and will probably bargain hard on.

Hopefully go pick these up in mid-April.

Glad it worked out for you and your friend, KPR.....of course we will need require photos.

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Nice catch KPR, enjoy them and know, that they are being passed on to someone who appreciates them.

Let me know how much you want for the 03a3, once you have made your choice.
