See the end of the Fresno gun buy-back video.  I *think* that's a vintage Colt revolver...   =(

I think I saw a Webley revolver in the bin as well.
Oh what wouldn't I give to be able to rummage through the bins for say 15 minutes and just grab everything that looks interesting and usable. =(

That shotgun at the end looked old, but I don't know much about those.
"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

no need to weep. it wouldn't surprise me to find out that the better pieces will be 'acquired ' by cops and officials handling the program. of course, it is ca., so it may be necessary for some extra measures to keep the do-gooders' noses out of the 'acquisition' process.

I could grab any number of FFLs and set up a stand upstream from that gun buyback, no problem.

We'd let the Lorcins, Jennings, Brycos, Davis, and Hi-Points continue on toward Target gift certificates.
