I don't think I've ever seen any $50 guns in a pawn shop, even destroyed .22's. Nice score.

Me, either. The last time I recall looking at a pawn shop gun it was a 10/22 with a really bad home camo paint job that looked like it had been dragged behind a truck for five miles down a gravel road. I was only considering it because I wanted to put an aftermarket stock kit on it, anyway. Then I saw that it was priced at about $10 less than the price on a brand new one at the Walmart just down the road from the pawn shop. Starting that high even a haggled price would be about twice what I would have paid for it so I just walked away.

Even the single shot shotguns I have looked at in various pawn shops have often been priced higher than a brand new one. I'm not talking 'collectible' guns, either - just working guns with some cosmetic blemishes. I often want to ask them what gunsmith they get to plate the inside of those barrels in gold for them.

To the OP, great find!

In the past I have always offerd 60-70% of price tag, take it or leave it. Most pawnshops are overstocked with firearms, so they want to move them.

There is a new one that has se cool guns like a M1A paratrooper. It is in Hixson right by O Charleys.

I haven't been by there while they were open I wil have to check them out.
