I just bought three of my grandfathers old guns

[Joe Link]

I can't tell you guys how happy I am right now. I'm dead broke but I had a few hundred in the bank I was planning on paying off debt with when my brother called me this morning. He told me he really needed cash, and asked me if I wanted to buy most of the other half of my grandfathers gun collection (we split it when he died). We negotiated for a while before we came to a price and the terms of the sale. After he died we agreed we'd never sell them to anyone but our immediate family, so naturally I agreed to that, and I also agreed that if he ever wanted to buy them back and I was willing to sell them I'd give him a good deal on them.

So, for $600, I got:

#1 - Ruger Single Six .22 (1973)

#2 - Winchester Model 94 .30-.30 (1974)

#3 - Colt Trooper MKIII .357 (1965)

You lucky dog! they are all very nice, but I'm really drooling over that Colt trooper.

 

[Parker]

Holy crap, you did good.

All nice guns and the grip on that single six look especially nice. I have one in .22mag, just like it...except the grips aren't pretty.

Family guns are priceless! Glad to see them stay in the family!

Those are not just nice firearms to receive, but family keepsakes. You could never put a price on them. Good for you.

The firearms are certainly in wonderful shape, judging by the photos; congratulations on making a good deal and a best-of-both-worlds arrangement. Better yet is keeping the guns in the family, however. I'd hate to think that the guns I have that were once owned by my grandfather would end up in someone else's collection.

Nice photos, by the way.
