Change in direction!

G.T.,

I've been doing that sort of thing for years. Hanging out in gun shops waiting for broken and malfunctioning guns to come in. I used to hit the buy and sell places checking for "parts guns", fire guns or anything that didn't function properly.

I've repaired and/or fixed a lot of $40 and $50 specials, often reselling, or trading them at a profit. Or just sticking them in the safe.

I only recall a couple of Lugers, one being a fairly nice 1906 which was in a paper bag in pieces, I got for a fixed-up .22 rifle and $100, and really regret re-selling. The other was one of the first bunch of Vopos that came to the country, with a sewer pipe bore and light surface pitting.
