So today I decides to do some gun looking... Hit 2 gun shows, 1 gun auction and 3 gun shops.. and then I decided to stop in at Ricks...
Should have started there... Now the other places were nice and I made purchases but nothing compares Fall City Firearms..
As I walk in to show off the "crap" I purchased on the way.. What meets me in the middle of the shop but about the most beautiful Browning 50 cal I have ever seen... So I ask for the price.. and before Rick can even tell me a price, I have to set through about 5 mins of Oh man you should have been here yesterday I had this.. And then I was going to call you because I had a cool gun in the shop last week.. But it sold before I could call you... (Thanks Rick, make me lament not living in my car outside of your shop..)
So I keep asking OK how much for the Browning... right then someone else in the shop says hey how much is this thing.. Well with that I had to just yell back Sorry its sold.. So finally I get the price...and of course it was so reasonable that I felt like a thief taking the gun.
Now on the Plus side the gun is an Aircraft gun so it should have a higher cycle then a normal 50...
On the negative side the barrel rifling is a bit worn... most aircraft barrels had a shorter lifes..
But Once again a lesson, travel the state for cool guns and then its a wow factor x 10 at Fall City... Just wish I lived closer.
And if he does not have something you want, you will get a University level history discussion and show of his latest collection of funny internet videos...
