The only way it makes any sense is if they offer money for non working crap guns you don’t need for spare parts. Then you go buy a working gun with the proceeds.

I own a Owl Head 38 S&W that I still shoot occasionally. It has Arabic writing on it. Exported to the ME in the twenties. My Dad ‘acquired’ it in his travels with NATO.

...It appears FL is heading to the toilet, one damn Yankee at a time...

Four announced candidates for Florida Governor met the public last week and competed in one-upsmanship as they argued among themselves as to whom is the most rabid anti gun rights candidate. Each vowed to ban modern black sport utility rifles in Florida as soon as elected.
The next Governor will likely appoint 3 Justices to the State supreme Court, so the election will be critical.

Interesting. I shoot mine occasionally too. I reload the .38 S&W brass cases, which are still available, with 12 grains of black powder topped off with a .361 lead bullet.
Although made in 1894, my revolver still looks new.

They are targeting semi-automatics and not flintlocks? Go figure.

I am especially glad that got that coach gun painted in International Harvester yellow off the streets.

That’s just darned embarrassing!

For years I have gone to gun shows to purchase junk firearms to hold onto until the next “gun buyback” within two hours of me. I tradecthem in for what they’re offering in exchange for these lumps of beaten up rusting sacks of crap and walk away with money in my and having rid the industry of junk. Government backed programs typically limit the number of whatever they give away. Church based groups are the best—they usually offer $50 for a handgun in any condition. You unload 6 unfireable ugly pieces of dreck and walk away with cash or gift certificates and are tax free!

And I typically buy new or slightly new weapons for my collection. If you can’t bear em, bill em!!

I’ve got two grand into my 10-22. They can give me a big wet kiss right here.

It’s a Leupold and floated stock obsession thiing.

Correct, but it's not just "Yankees" screwing things up. FL is being overrun by Puerto Ricans and assorted other Latin trash who are only interested in mooching off the system and will vote for anyone who promises a bigger welfare check.

Florida is an EXCELLENT spot to stand around and offer more money to these idiots than the gift card givers.

Seeing those antiques laid out in the parking lot, I feel much safer now.

How about you?

I've never tallied mine up, but I suspect it would've been cheaper to just buy it from Volquartsen and be done with it.

“I am proud to do my part in making our community safer, by providing a safe, no-questions-asked way for residents to dispose of their unwanted firearms,” Janer said.

So, the gun I used to cap a couple of my fellow 'bangers, and rob that liquor store with, where I dusted the owner and his 17 year old helper, you'll take that, no questions asked, huh? Way cool.

Yup. Got a VQ trigger and bolt, Tactical Solutions aluminum barrel with a chrome stainless tube, thumbhole stock, Leupold gold scope and Harris bipod. It’s insanely accurite. It loves CCI mini-mags. The only thing Ruger about it is the serial number.

I have five of them, one for each kid (theirs have EOTech red dots) and mine - no, the blue one is strictly off limits. Mine. No. :o)

At 100 yards in my S&W 15-22 is equal to your 10-22. I run Aguila super through it or the 60 grain ditties for home defense.

Laser on the front of the top rail and a Bushnell 2x red dot.
