Holy Cow I scored some good ammo

[1371JarHead]

So a gentlemen I sometimes shoot with passed away a few weeks ago (RIP Art) and his son and wife asked me if I wanted the extra rifle ammo that he no longer had rifles for, of course I said yes how much do you want for it, So i bought 400 rounds of 7.62 x 54R brass case from PPU for 150$, and 2 x 200 rounds of American Gunner in 6.5 Grendel for 119 each, i told them they could sell it for like 1000$ or more with whatever is going to happen with biden and camel-toe, and i would give them 500 but they wanted to go to someone that her husband liked...so i guess it pays to be nice to your fellow man...Rest in Peace Art, I hope your blazing away in heaven with old Whitefeather and Chesty, Semper Fi...

Karma happens, good find.

I learned in the service to treat everyone as an old friend, unless they showed reason not to.

Sorry for the loss of your friend.

This reminds me of a topic that has been on my wife's and I mind lately. My wife doesn't know squat about firearms, ammo or reloading supplies so I told her I would ask a friend of mine if he would help her sell off my collection if I die first. I suspect other couples could be in the same situation and if you don't have a close trustworthy friend or relative to help, the surviving spouse could end up getting screwed.

I have long joked about this. None of my kids shoot much or at all. I suspect when I shuffle off they will make some shooter real happy with my stuff

I am in the same boat, my two sons don't want to have anything to do with firearms. They have been brainwashed by the anti society

Or if you're lucky, you'll have some family to pass them down to. If not, this is excellent advice. Keeping an inventory with semi current values wouldn't hurt, either.
My son in law and nephew are interested in guns, but not so much hunting. My grandson, however, is. He's gonna get most of my schit anyway, might as well get all of the fun stuff.

Nice deal on the ammo, @1371JarHead . Honor your late friend with tiny groups.

Thanks dude. I know they have a ton of 6.5 x 55 swede, that was Arts go to all around hunting cartridge, Imay have to buy a rifle in that just to buy all of the ammo, the son thinks he has over 4k rounds of the stuff, the son also is thinking of selling all his Dads reloading gear as well, he is not really into it.

Thanks dude, he was a good guy, he got a little messed up in the Republik of the Viet of South Nam as he used to say, but he never had a bad thing to say about anyone and was always generous with letting people fire his rifles at the range..

Thanks dude, yeah he was a pretty rare guy, even is this hate filled times he was always pretty happy and always tried to put a upright spin on things, I dont think i ever might anyone who was so happy to be at the range and having his hand-loads hit the bullseye on the first shot, lololool.

GD there's a lot of "Sad" in this thread. All I can do when it comes to people who have lived full lives passing is hope, as I hope for myself, that it comes quick, and relatively painless.

The sadness come mostly from those stating their offspring have no desire to carry on tradition. Not just family tradition, but those of The United States of America's traditions. The death of an old friend always ends up being, "Just the way it is".
