Hey Harb,
Sorry to hear about G-Pa. Sounds like a fine man. That dementia is a tough deal. I am sorry bud. Gun values can be disappointing... and they can be very surprising too. The best thing is that you are not in any hurry to unload them. You can't replace the sentimental value they have most times; maybe they should be saved for your grandkids. Nice job on the place!! Did G-Pa have any factory COPO parts lying around the shop?? LOl. Man, that is allot of stuff you hauled off!!
I just got a Kel Tech 9MM new that I traded for some compound bow stuff; it is a tiny little gun & super "packable"... not a high end gun... but so very small for a 9MM. You might look at one of those; plus they are cheap. Amazingly accurate when you hold it gangsta sideways... great self defense gun. Scooter
