Studying the picture of the pile, looks like about half are worth owning. Two Taurus G2 family, but possibly no mags, that would be almost break even-ish. Used mags are $20 a pop.
The one gun that looks like a Hi-Power isn't - safety is on the slide, it's a weird variant.
At least two S&W semis look good. Two or three Glocks, good scores. That little Ruger is nice enough. Hi-Points at least work. A lot of the rest is craptastic.
Sounds about right. I'm sure a large percentage of us started with an absolute shit gun because we didn't make much money as young'uns, were too impulsive to actually save up, and didn't know much about guns so figured "a gun is a gun" so we just bought the first thing we could afford right away.
I mean, my first handgun purchase was a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Mag. Granted, it was far from the first handgun I had fired, and I had a halfway decent job at the time.
Hell yea lol I was a full time college student at the time and got it for $100 even. Drove 40+ minutes to a local amusement park where we did the exchange. I had to order the magazine from eBay lol
Mine wouldn't trip the trigger reset when it got dirty.
Surprise full auto is a real surprise. Before I could even process what happened and lift my trigger finger that lil gun already skeeted its whole load.
Hand tools makers are not fucking around when it comes to prices. Every time I blow up a pair of dykes because I thought something was turned off it cost me like 30$.
I got mine for $35 and that's with the "I have to pry off the gun-lock the dealer doesn't have the key to" discount. I think I got ripped off. Maybe I'll shoot it someday if I can find ammo for less than I paid for the gun and I get tired of having all my fingers.
I done this type of gamble once and never again $200 bux and I got a fkn phoenix raven 25…. I would them have rather just kept my money and never sent anything. The ffl that received it was laughing so hard because the transfer fee was more than that pos was worth.
I did this 6 months ago. Got an sd9ve with one mag for $200. If you don’t have many guns I’d suggest just getting a police trade in Glock that comes with 3 mags. All that said, gambling is rad. If you just want a gun then hell yeah.
I looked on the website and it said they’ll ship to Cali or NY as long as it’s an FFL so I mean I guess since it ships from an FFL to an FFL there shouldn’t be an issue as long as you pass a background check and the gun is made “state compliant”. Idk though im not a lawyer and i live in a great state for gun owners
I feel like they took all the guns they been sitting on and added up the price of them and divided by the number of guns and came up with 150. So easy way to liquidate all their cheap guns and sell some more expensive ones without losing any money on the whole thing. Pretty clever if that's what they did.
Having bought multiple guns from him, I'd guess he literally bought these from a police department for a song. So why not blow them out and get an huge bump in new customers.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the seller’s strategy is to offload the worst guns first, pulling from a pile randomly at 150 dollars each, knowing most buyers are just hoping for a hidden gem. Meanwhile, he holds onto the better ones until the junk is gone.
People buy guns from RTI. A used Hi-point has nothing on a rusty, century old gun covered in the finest crud from the bottom of an Ethiopean goat shed.
It shot well for about half a round of sporting clays but locked up on me. Charging handle won’t open chamber empty.
I took it apart and got it to cycle, but there is a few levers on the side of the receiver right in front of the trigger assembly that I believe it’s getting jammed on.
And to make matters worse, parts are hard to find. Hoping to get it running smooth again but it’s low on the list.
I'd do it. Worse case scenario when you go to pick it up before completing paperwork you say to the ffl okay how many boxes of ammo will you trade me for this shit
I bought the $59 Saturday night special pistol and got a non-functioning JA-9.
I also bought the $120 long gun and got a beat up .410 single shot with what looks like a case number scratched into it.
Overall, wasn't great wasn't bad. If the JA-9 was functional I'd be a little happier, but the possible case number on the .410 was neat, so it balanced out.
