Damn Chief, I'm sure sorry to hear that. It's been my experience that family will usually be the first to screw you over, though.

thanx

 

my time will come

 

im a patient man

 

A very good friend of mine that wanted several of my WW2 rifles and was willing to pay me a fair price for them.  I sold them to him on the provision that if he ever wanted to sell them, I wanted the first opportunity to buy them back. 

 

He got a like new M1903 Sprinfield (Rock Island Armory, first year of production in 1906, with a four-digit serial number) complete with an M1905 bayonet and M1910 scabbard to match; a pristine 1937 manufacture Mauser Kar 98k rifle with bayonet and scabbard; a No. 4 Mk 1 (T) Enfield sniper's rifle with No. 32 scope and mount and wooden transport case.  All of this is rare and pricey hardware.

 

Then dufus got married and his wife turned out to be a whore who slept with any guy in town (our metro area is 250,000 so she had a target-rich environment).  When he found out, he filed for divorce.  However, he did not kick the bitch out.  While he was gone to work, she sold all his guns including the three of mine, and split with the money.  Both of us were sick and p.o.'ed about what she did, but there was nothing either of us could do.  I hope there's a special spot in Hell reserved for his ex-wife.

Target rich area. I like that. My first wife spent more time jumping in and out of beds than I did helicopters (101st). Sorry riverchief, sounds like you got hosed. Go to the pawn shop and tell them its your pistol and will report it stolen if they dont give it up. Its worth a try.

actually no law was broken

 

the shithead went in an asked for a loan of the gun and then just didnt go pick it up and pay the fee

 

if sh went in to sell it

then he would have to have paperwork

 

of course we all know how honest pawnbrokers are
