I'd have given it back with repayment. Matter of fact I woulda hunted him down to get repayment because, unless it was owned by Teddy Roosevelt himself, there's no way I would have given $300 for a Krag 35 years ago.
I bet it happened more recently.
No...35 years ago and it very obviously had only a few rounds put through it and was in pristine shape. I was not real knowledgeable back then about Firearm values, I was only 19.
And Mitch is right, I probably was loaning him too much towards it. I was still a kid WANTED that Rifle. 30 days was long enough for me to think twice and reconsider the wisdom of it.
