Sold my '86 takedown....

Post by firefuzz »

Cousin stopped by yesterday morning, says he wants to buy a lever-action .45-70. So I head over to the computer to find him one and he says I don't understand....he wants MY Miroku '86TD, the number 2 gun of a 500 gun limited run. I laughed so hard I liked to have busted my britches and told him we could find him one much cheaper than I'd sell mine for.

Got on the computer and found him a NIB Miroku TD for $1500 and said there ya go. He looked at the gun, laid 2K$ on my coffee table and says where's the key to the gun safe, I liked to have choked.

Now, in case you all don't remember, I only paid $1200 for that gun, it had already been shot, sling swivels attached, no box or paper work....so the collector's value was pretty much shot. And I never really cared for that crescent butt plate.

Told him all that, said he didn't care, he'd shot that rifle and that's the ONE he wanted....give 'er up.

So.......I got the rifle out of the safe, handed him a box of shells and a sling, and walked him to the door, not knowing if I should cry or not.

Then I went to the computer, found a very slightly used Miroku '86 lightweight for just under $900 shipped AND a stainless Rossi '92 for $500 for my new missus. Now I'm just waiting for my dealer to call.

New toys, life is good. :lol:
