20 years ago I purchased my very first gun. A beautiful Winchester M1 Garand through the CMP. I had absolutely no interest in guns whatsover but my new father-in-law insisted I buy one with him. I paid about $180 dollars. I didn't have the gun very long when I traded it and some cash for a rusty old Ford. When my new wife found out she was VERY mad and I had to go beg the guy to sell it back to me. Her dad taught her to NEVER sell guns. I had told they guy it was probably worth about $500 bucks, so he sold it back to me for $700. (that part I didn't tell my wife). Fortunately for me today my wife was smarter than I was.
