Stopped by the local gun shop.
After getting cash for my scrap I stopped by the LGS. I keep forgetting the shop's week start on Thursday. Saw Joe the father of the son's gun shop. He took a spill a bit ago and I was happy to see him up and about.
So I looked around the shop and saw a Mini-14 going for a $1000 (claimed to be unfired with box but it was relatively the new edition). Got me thinking I got one with a UltiMak rail and few bits I could get little more or about the same if I kept the bits. I could get more but the magazines aren't "transferable".
Then I saw a Mossy 500/590 with a pistol grip from back in the day. Not the Shockwave. Didn't look but I do wonder what my Mossy Bullpup might bring in?
Saw a two tone H&K USP in 9mm priced at $1000. Kind a low since it just dropped off the California Roster but then again it might not have any magazines? Mine has the extra bits to mount a scope and what they call a Quick Comp with a Jet Funnel. Pretty much like the back cover of the 1997 Gun Digest. Since I can't transfer the magazines here it doesn't make sense to sell unless I can get $1500 without the magazines. Also they might make the state remove the "California Roster" because it's unconstitutional then the $1000 price for the USP might be over priced.
To sell or not to sell. Might have to start looking at thinning out what I can sell relatively quick and easy. Not that the dollar is worth much.

Based on one of your other threads, it sound like you will be using some of your spare cash buying some parts for your Van !!

Hey it's not my fault I use more than 8 color box of crayons to paint word pictures.
So anyhow the ride was fixed by Friday when I stopped by to see if it might be another issue like the four wire connector behind the battery. I was doing some searches and came upon this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgNY3ZpjSsUI thought that was the reason since the dude in the video mentioned the head light acting funny. Maybe it still is?

I haven't looked in ages. Is $1000 a good price on a mini-14?

Yosh, your headlight comment reminded me of a Japanese motorcycle from late 70's if I remember right. The starter circuit went through the headlight. If you were trying to start it and it wouldn't crank, check the light bulb. LOL
My moms late husband owned an import motorcycle salvage shop and he'd had people cuss him up and down when he told the customer that. A few would call later and tell him that was what it was and who in the world would have ever designed something like that. LOL It certainly wouldn't have been high on my list of things to check.

Mr. Perfect - Yeah if you only paid $500 for it (like I did).
bambihunter - Yeah I'm finding odd things about my mini-van.
