That was a fancy one. I've had some guns that I thought were too fancy for hunting. This is one I had traded for. The metal was perfect, the wood showed a lot of wear. I refinished the wood, sent it to Errol Case in MO to re-do the high end carving/checkering. That doubled the price of the gun; the checkering cost me around $150, IIRC. And, I work cheap.

What about trading? Do you think trading this fancy Browning after enhancement of the wood for a used Dakota 76, even swap, was Kosher? DF

Nothing wrong with selling off bad ideas. Selling good ones almost always leads to regret. Think long and hard. I have a few good ones that I may pass on (before I do), so at least they’ll stay in the family. Keeping them all fed and ready to go takes a lot of time that would be better spent actually shooting some others.

Even I wanted to sell it, I wouldn’t want to screw with whiny tire kickers and jew-down type low ballers.
Damn, I thought you and renegade were friends?

the way i look at it, its money in the bank. and if they are anything close to decent guns, they are earning waaaay more interest than a bank. i will sell some here and there to fund other projects or guns. but i agree with slum, its a PITA and people are fuggen dickheads. "i'll meet you saturday morning" "oh sorry, i forgot i had to take my dog to the vet".

I don’t have unlimited resources, try to keep my equity in guns I’m using. Safes are expensive snd I’m not a hoarder. The Browning was at about half value due to the wood. I knew I could make some money fixing the stock, which I did. Never bought it as a keeper. It was a means, not an end. And, I didn’t mention that the Dakota was a .270 for obvious reasons. Ha! But, traded it even for an Ed Brown Damara .300 Win Mag, which is a keeper. So swapping and enhancing value to get to a desirable end point is worth the effort. DF
