Good score!
I rolled my eyes when my friend called to tell me his dad got a massive collection of milsurp rifles in his shop....boy he wasnt lying! I've never seen so many Enfields, carcanos, Mausers, mosin nagant 91's etc for sale in one place. I felt like a kid in a candy store! It was really hard for me to walk away with only two rifles, a 1917 Remington m/n 91 and Russian 1932 puolustuslaitos marked m/n 91/30. He also had 2 or 3 N.E.W m/n 91's still on the rack!
Other rifles of interest included a graffiti yugo m48, instructor marked Enfield, a m44 with wire hangers that looked like it lived in a paddy field, Japanese last ditch rifles and a pair of carcano calvary carbines with bayonets. I plan on a return trip in a couple weeks or even sooner....once I can get money put back in the savings account. Haha.

Did he just buy this collection and put up for sale, or is it a personal collection he's parting with?
Good timing either way. Buy low...sell high...

He has a gunstore and bought someones collection and put them up for sale, he mostly deals in milsurps. He has just as many chopped up milsurps as well.

Do we get to know where his store is, or are you keeping it all to yourself?

Yeah, cough it up
I'm always looking for project actions. I've noticed a lot of private collections being sold off. Smart move IMO, good time to sell and I'm doing the same with some.
