    Just wanted to see what kind of good deals everyone has got on a firearm. List your best deals! Excluding inherited guns...

    Mine was Gen 3 g17 for $250 from a guy that was hard up for cash. It only had 100 rnds through it! :rockwoot:

    I got my p30 for 760.00. I've given out great deals like my taurus judge with 0 rounds through it with ammo and a holster for 300 bucks. Sold my fnp 45 for 400 bucks. Sold my p250 for 250.

    WASR 10/63 barely used with ammo can full of non-corrosive FMJ 760rds= $400
    Sig p229 .40 with 5 Sig mags and brand new extra recoil spring = $400

    a few years ago before "Obummer" took office and prices skyrocketed I was able to get:

    2 Colt 1911's package deal in excellent condition = $800
    Chinese SKS all numbers match with all military issue accessories =$100

    I'm a bargain hunter, I'll search high and low to save $10 bucks and I can be extremely patient to save $50+

    $80 Marlin Model 60 that needed a $10 part (buffer block) and some serious cleaning to get running again. I've put another few hundred rounds through it!

    I've got several freebies from family, but they don't count.....

    I sold some chump a Marlin 60 with a bulged barrel for $80 and told him it just needed a $10 part. :)



    j/k :)


    Bersa Thunder .380 $225. Came with two boxes of ammo and an extra magazine... At the time that made the price of the gun ~$160. ($30 of ammo and $35 for a magazine.)

    On a percent saved basis, probably 2 marlin 795 rifles fully prepped for Appleseed with 2 magazines each, detachable sling swivels, Tech Sight aperture sights, Midway shooting mats and rifle cases for $200 total. They had been used for one Appleseed shoot, each. That generous seller has helped a total of 6 people get involved in the shooting sports through Appleseed, and I used one of them to get my Rifleman patch. In terms of nicest gun for least money, probably my full house custom Wilson Combat 1911 built on a stainless Colt frame and slide with all WC parts that put 5 shots in one hole at 25 yards on its test target, and which I picked up for $850 with extra ammo and magazines. It would take the Colt frame and slide plus $2500 to build that gun today. My INGO forum friends have been good to me!

    Best deal was a few hundred rounds of factory .45 acp from someone who said he didn't have any use for it.

    Next best: GSSF and Law Enforcement prices on new Glocks.
