Not a place I would want to buy a weapon from. Too eerie.

Might be some pretty good deals.

Suicide gun? Would not buy. Bad juju.

Why? The gun is just a tool.

Yeah - a haunted tool... But then again, I would have an excuse for my poor shooting.

Doesn't bother me, I wonder if they take bids by proxy.

Here is a list of the firearms with pictures:

"SURPLUS VECHILES"

Nothing much there that I am interested in bidding on, but I would love to see some of them "surplus vechiles."

I can buy the same tool from a different location without the bad juju.

On a serious note... I don't have any problems with it... Just not for me.

ETA: Lots of junk in that list of items.

I would have thought that the "Saturday Night Specials" law(s) would prevent many of those firearms from being sold, or were the various laws mostly state laws and not affecting this particular state? I never knew much about those laws, having read about them only as historical references.

Lots of junk, yes, but lots of gems, too. A Colt Detective Special, several nice shooter-grade S&W's, what looks like a S&W pocket auto, and more. I'd venture a guess that most of the top-breaks are legally antiques, or very near so. Judging from the pictures, there's two or three High Standard Sentinels, and who knows what else? The listing is not very detailed, or even that accurate; the "S&W Model 66-L" is probably (I think) actually a 66-1, there are two near-identical Jennings junk guns listed as two different models, etc. etc.

Be interesting if one could actually -see- these firearms, not just single pictures, and get a better idea of what they actually -are-.

A couple of nice smith's and a whole lot of thugs. (Why this forum turns terds into thugs is beyond me)

I don't think I'd trust an Iver Johnson to killing me.

I sure wished it was Texas. There is a nice Colt Commander I seen that I would not mind having.

I'm still not gonna volunteer to stand downrange of one.

Few years back, I had a junk gun, a Jennings J-22 (I believe there's at least two in this pile of treasures and thugs). It refused to run with anything except CCI, which it ate like candy, and it was darned accurate with them too. If you focused on trigger pull and sight alignment (difficult with those tiny sights), it would print tight groups.

I still wouldn't buy another for a plug nickel, but I sure ain't gonna diss them Saturday Night Specials!

I have a lot more respect for a coroner that auctions the firearms making a positive cash flow in their budget versus the coroners that pay money from the public treasury to destroy the guns.
