Huhwhat?
Blackhawk
Went in to pick up the 2nd Gen Colt 1851 I had waiting. Some guy was in there swearing up a blue streak because he found out his buddy sold him a Hi-Point 9mm for $50 more than they were new. One of the clerks was explaining that they couldn't sell a gun to someone from CA, and another guy was trying to sell his 10/22 (which was actually a really beat up Marlin model 60). He thought it oughta be worth about $300, since it was an old original 10/22.
While the dealer was writing me a receipt for the Colt, I spotted a muzzleloader on the rack behind the counter where they put guns they have taken in before they go out on the rack.
"Whatcha got back there?" I point to the muzzleloader. He looks to see what I'm pointing at.
"We're not sire what we're gonna do with that one. Someone traded it in yesterday on a pistol. It's a flintlock." He reaches back for it. "Problem is, we discovered that it's loaded." Knowing me pretty well, he hands me the gun to look at. Yep, it's an Antonio Zoli 1803 Harper's Ferry Flinter.
"So what do you want for it?" Hurried conference between owners follows.
"$125?"
"Sold!"
And here it is...
