One thing about guns, you never know whats going to pop up or where. I bought one (1969 Mountie) from the original owner a couple of years ago, 99% with the hang tags but no box. He said he bought it off the rack at the hardware store brand new and didn't get a box. Here's the way I found it. While standing in line waiting to get in the local gun show I looked back in the line and a guy was holding what looked to be a Mountie. I went back and asked if he brought it to sell, yes he did and he would like $350 for it. I asked if he could consider $300? He said not before he even gets inside so I gave him 350. Took it home, wiped it down and put it in the safe with the hang tags. I've never shot it and probably won't. It seems that when ever I make A promise to the wife I won't buy anything is when the stuff jumps out of the weeds and I cave in.Can't believe she's put up with me for 46yrs.
