Not selling anything in the intro section. It is currently listed in the for sale section. The transaction will be done legally at an FFL.

It's been quite here lately, dont take the new guy beating too personal. It just that there's not much else going on.
Newbies selling guns right off the bat generally puts members in the 20'S age bracket, close??
Where's the fun in that ?

Me too, although it was illegal then.
A number of guys I was worked with advised this then young wipper snapper to hoard foreign gold coins ( the face value and gold was 33 dollars an ounce as I recall). They also recommended hoarding circulated junk silver US coins. I sorta tried.
As a child, my grandparents also pushed hoarding silver. Over the years growing up I converted a chunk of my birthday and kid job money in to 19th century US Silver dollars, 2 dollar bill silver certificates, antique postage stamps (to continue a collection gifted to me from the estate of our Town's Blacksmith), and old baseball cards to continue collections gifted to me by my Uncle (mothers side) and great-grandmother (fathers side).
When I was 20 years old and sent overseas by the taxpayers of this Great Republic, my belongings were placed in storage with my parents furniture when my dad was transfered from the Southern Tier to the Hudson Valley. While in storage I had 500 silver dollars, 400 2-dollar bills, a bunch of 18th and 19th century postage stamps (quite a bit uncirculated), all my baseball cards including 2 Mickey Mantle rookie cards, 2 18th century antique black powder dueling pistols, antique hunting knives and cases of .22 short ammo that were all stolen.
They never knew what was lost for months and insurance never covered anything. Even with the unique nature of the stolen items, nothing was recovered. I never got in to gold and silver after that. I do have some lead in safe keeping ... lol.
After that, I rolled all the cash I made as a single young man into a home for my new bride with a small mortgage (my property tax bills were always larger than my mortgages). Being able to never carry debt and earn sweat equity I still probably made out OK but it could have been better ... or at least easier. All we can do in life is keep playing with the cards we're dealt and learn from our past hands.
