I cannot believe the amount of people who want a value or want info on their guns without any info such as serial number or photo. I have this rifle, what’s it worth? Are you the Swami Mind Reader? For a Swabbie, you are pretty intelligent, but certainly not a mind reader.   Jarhead

Kinda like “how deep is the ocean?” Simple question, lots of correct answers.

Who Cares–give it to a son or grand son, there is nothing better than a gun you keep in the family. I have an 1890 in 22WRF Guess mine will go to a grandson–Bill

It might be real interesting if someone asks one of those AI programs what my guns is worth? You know AI doesn’t make mistakes.

In my case the AI would probably answer “someone else’s”. Correct, but not what I was looking for!
