[QUOTE="soberups, post: 989145, member: 14668"] Every one of the turn-in handguns in the photo is a piece of crap. I'm seeing Lorcins, Ravens, Jennings, and a bunch of Iver Johnson and High Standard break-open revolvers. You would be lucky to get $10 apiece for them at a pawnshop. The long guns arent much better, although I would love to have that Moisin Nagant M44 for my collection. Every once in awhile they have a gun buyback up here in Portland, and lately there have been dealers and collectors who show up and stand outside with cash making people better offers on some of the guns that they are bringing in. Usually, about 99% of what gets brought in is junk that isnt even worth a $50 gift card, but once in awhile there will be people who dont know any better that show up with guns that are worth saving. Its truly a shame to see rare guns with authentic historic value being "turned in" for a $50 card and then melted down into scrap. [/QUOTE]
