Up the street from my house, an old timer Vietnam vets house caught on fire just before Christmas. To make a long story short, since then my father has been working with him to get his half burned down house sold. The poor guy fell on tough times a few months before the fire and had to save money by canceling his homeowners policy, so he was pretty much SOL.
Well my dad got his house sold for him for WAAAY over the asking price, and because he's such a nice guy we have still been helping him out any way we can. He doesn't currently have a car and he has a lot of stuff. We were helping him move a bunch of stuff to his storage unit today and we cam across a bunch of old and neglected revolvers and long guns. A couple of side by side 16ga shotguns, one of which has Damascus steel barrels, a Winchester 94 in .30-.30, a S&W revolver and a couple of other wheel guns.
He gave them to me. They need work, that's for sure but after a good looking over, they look to be salvageable..
He also gave me an old RCBS single stage (will be a nice addition to my dillon RL550) a beam scale and 3 sets of dies. (.243, .38spl and .30-06). He also gave me a bench vise, which I have been in need of since mine broke.
He also gave me 2 recurve bows and a bunch of target arrows and a few board head hunting arrows.
What a super nice guy. I wasn't helping him out to get stuff in return, but its nice when it happens.
