Yep they are 5s. Like you said value is all based on condition. I see a Gunbroker ended auction for a Pre-64 Model 70 .330 H&H that says "NIB" which ended for just over $4000. Of course I also see it was relisted. I doubt he had 2 of those, so there could be some funny math there. I away question auctions that end way above the norm because that is a way money launderers move money around and simply don't exchange the item, In contrast I see one that ended for $661. Like Kharman said pictures including any boxes and accessories would be a good start.

I have no idea off the top of my head on value.... But a Pre-64 Model 70 .300HH Mag.....

Some numbers reassembly numbers used by the factory. There are several places the serial is stamped. Look on the back of the extractor star.

Those should be Presentation style Pachmayr grips. Should be aftermarket for that one. They made these in that tapered barrel and a heavy barrel both at the same time. The logo was moved off the sideplate on the right to the left side on the frame in about 1981. These sights come between the earlier 1/2 moon and the later ramp I believe. I dont right off see the dates of the changes. I think your numbers might a bit low. lol

@One1 Studying up on Model 10s and their predecessors can be a deep rabbit hole. A fun one though. Nice looking one. What kind of grips did you get with it?

Yeah this is like the $20 yard sale shotguns you hear about... I never see them. At least Cap has proof. lol

20lbs of Bacon...Yes please...

Just have mine shipped to your house..... in your name. I will pick it at some point......

Story of my life....

I used to have a Dodge Neon (POS) that you have to unbolt the engine just to replace the serpentine belt. I kind of think they engineer them on purpose to ensure work for their dealer service departments.

Even of the key was needed in the ignition, if you can get to the wires, lots of this stuff runs on 12v, so a battery will pop it open. Another lock to watch out for is the ones realtors put on your door with a key inside. You can open that type with a shim made from a soda can. Plus as you do it, you can decipher the pass code. So you only need to do it once and you can open tgat until it is reset.

A few years ago I got inspired to see if I could build a complete AR off eBay minus the stripped lower. Not quite as cheap, but after some wrangling I got it. Even got the evil black rifle stripped upper off eBay. Also one that I wouldn't bet my life on, but goes bang every time so far. Don't have any pictures close and too lazy to pull it out of storage. lol Good work on both. I have some lowers I need to get around to building. Until things went haywire, 22mods4all seemed like the cheapest route, but their cheapest stuff is staying sold out.

First under $1.00 I have seen even if it included points off

I know a few that are not in the list, but even proportional to Nashville, we should have a lot more. I often wonder if having theeclassifieds. on top of Armslist keeps a lot of East TN folks that might just initially want to sell from joining up. Or maybe a lot of our neighbors can't use a computer. lol

You see the story of the 96 yo WWII VET that got a mohawk? https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/18/us/guy-whidden-mohawk-wwii-vet-trnd/index.html I have had long hair before, this time it is just gray. Doesn't bother me much. I have decided that since I am now working at home (finally!), I can see what i look like with a full beard. That is if the wife doesn't kick me out of bed before it grows in,

I know there have to be more of us. lol

MAN WHO BOUGHT $10,000 WORTH OF TOILET PAPER AND HAND SANITIZER DENIED REFUND A man in Australia who purchased around $10,000 worth of toilet paper and hand sanitizer was recently denied a refund by a supermarket owner. .... https://www.newsweek.com/man-who-bought-10000-worth-toilet-paper-hand-sanitizer-denied-refund-1498343?amp=1

It all depends if I am buying it from you or selling it to you...

When we had a couple huge (30 inch diameter) poplars go down, I couldn't give the logs away. The guy up here that I have do work says he just has to pay the landfill to dump them. He said most sawmills are afraid of yard trees since they could have old nails or barbed wire in them that would mess up their blades. There was one place that used to cut trees, haul them to their yard to split for firewood but he went out of business. Not sure how because keeping his guys busy to a degree even in the wet or winter with the firewood had to make some money .

Why the heck does FEMA have an app???

I would not be surprised to find people willing to trade you for precious metals and paper money for a while after the collapse. It is the mindset that there is value there. They will hope to cash in on the situation like some of these sanitizer and mask guys. Maybe they have enough supplies to gamble trading them away or think the situation will be short lived. While I understand the value of precious metal and have some, I still can't understand how it took on that worth. Before technology employed it, the value was mainly based on it being shiny and in relatively limited supply. No worse than the current dollar though.

Gives a whole new meaning to a trade meet. I have always thought it plausible that there would come a time in TEOTWAWKI that there is more benefit in molding gold and silver into bullets than in hoarding it.

You could think of this as a multi-function room too. Leave room for a small gun safe you put your most sentimental ones in and there are 2 layers to get through to get to them if someone breaks in. A few other additions and you have a "panic room" too. Take a good look at any trees that could potentially reach where you put it. You could take them down to lessen the possibility of the room taking a direct hit from a falling tree. Lots of force built up by the time they hit the ground. I have a opposite suggestion over sinking the room. I might actually raise it, or at least the interior floor, to eliminate the room flooding if the exterior metal walls are compromised. Run you some bolts into the existing slab and pour in place after the walls are up. Obviously I know the room isn't going to fill up and drown you. If you have to spend any extended time there, 2 or 3 inches of water on the floor might be very uncomfortable if you had to run in barefoot in the middle of the night. I would also think hard about leaving air holes in the walls. Those metal building skins are not very thick and you don't want another way for water to get pushed in if the walls are punctured or down. pipes coming out to roof of the room with 180 degree bends would be a better option in my mind. You could screen them to keep the critters out.

AH HAH... The catch is revealed.

I see mullets making a come back. Easy to see how to cut your own hair in the front, not so easy in the back.
