You're downsizing

 

[noclevername]

Maybe someone will buy that Legion then I can buy your rifle and then we both downsized

 

[Jstegman1]

Man, a few really shitty trade offers today. How about you @3clicks_Off

Didn't mean yours @noclevername.

Usually I’d agree but this thing ain’t worth much to begin with

You’d be surprised what’ll happen in the next 10 years or so. That gun might triple in value if it still has the original finish

Just looked. I like that rifle

 

[Axeman]

I don’t understand this general belief.
It you leave the finish as is it’s worth more, even though it looks like shit.
But if you have it re-blued to protect it for another hundred years and make it look nice, it’s worth less.

I have an 1897 take down that I’m struggling with.

Yeah, it’s the collectors who drive that ideology. They’d rather know the finish was original and have a small amount of “honest wear” or “patina” than have something refinished by a newer method.

I was a collector, and went by the same ideal until one day I realized that NONE of my stuff was destined for a museum, and that when I die it’ll all get sold off to fund something more important for my family.

So now I only *try* to buy stuff that I really have a purpose for using.

But I’ve still got a lot of my ‘collection’ hanging around that I’ve gotta find a new home for.
Just haven’t been motivated enough to do it.

Buy my upper

Put a reasonable price on it

I went to the NRA museum about 10 years ago. They have a 30-40 krag that had been reworked to be a beautiful hunting rifle and it had been re-blued.
It was the best bluing job I had ever seen. Absolutely Gorgeous!

But let’s leave old guns with no finish on them so they can get more pitted and pitiful every year.

And yet, I still haven’t t done anything with my 1897 or my 30-40 krag that have been in the family for 3 maybe 4 generations.
