Webster's Auction this weekend

[benenglish]

Is anybody going to Webster's Auction for the sale this Sunday, 26 June 2016? I'm already committed to going to a pistol match. The list of guns is mostly junk with a few really intriguing pieces. (I'm irritated that I missed the email alert for the sale last weekend. There were nicer guns in that auction.) The club where I'm attending the match will cancel if the pre-registered turnout is ridiculously low. In that unlikely event, I'll be at the auction.

So did you shoot the match or go spend money at the auction?

 

[benenglish]

Shot the match. Just got back. It was blast, even though I performed miserably, shooting 3 targets out of order and catching the penalties for every one of those. Still, it was the kind of fun I haven't had in over a decade.

Dang, I would have been interested in item #33, the Savage 170 30-30 Win.

Have any of you actually been to one of these auctions and walked away with some good deals on guns. This has really peaked my interest and I would love to consider going to one of these auctions and trying to pick up some good gun deals.

Yes to the first part of your question.

I'll let you decide on the second part. See: https://www.texasguntalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53642&page=2&p=877387&viewfull=1#post877387

Thank you! That was a great review. The website seems very unorganized to me. How do you know when there will be enough guns to make it worth your time ?

Before each auction, they always post online a list of everything offered for sale. I don't worry about "enough" guns; I go only if there are "interesting" guns.
