Ladies and Gentlemen,
Go to this link
Auction There are 4 pages of guns for sale at an auction near where I live. Do you see anything there that is unique or of particlular value that I should try to buy?

Pretty neat, you may see me there.
Where is Dunegan, MO?
I saw quite a few items that interested me, but none that I would really have serious regrets if I missed. All of them would be subject to condition and PRICE. It has been my experience that most of the gun auctions like this that I have attended have brought higher prices for the guns than I thought they were worth. However, there is a fair volume of fairly expensive stuff here, and some of them might, but probably won't, slip thru the cracks.
That said, from my POV, I would look closely at:
Lot 2 AR10T, probably worth about $1300/1400, a buy at $1200 or less. I like them, but they are heavy.
Lot 16 Shiloh Sharps, not sure of manufacturer, if US a very interesting gun, great looking stock in pic.
Lot 25 Husqvarna .30-06, great Mauser action, a buy at $300 or less.
Lots 34,35,36, 37, 38 all interesting .22s and look to be in good or better condition. I'd be a buyer of any of them if the price was right.
Lot 51,53...good fun uppers for 15s, am not sure of value without looking them up, but a good fun addition if you have a 15.
Lot 100 Hi Standard Trophy one of the all time great target pistols, a steal at $300 or less, assuming the condition is as good as it appears.

GatogordoPS: I don't have the lot number, but that Parker shotgun, which appeared to have hammers in the photo, if it is a REAL Parker would be interesting, especially if it has solid steel barrels and even if Damascus it might be a buy since the condition appears (photo was not too clear on my monitor) to be fairly decent.

T.CarrCat,
It's about 40 miles north of Springfield, Missouri.
I thought a couple of those .22's looked pretty good. I may take some cash and go, just to see how it plays out.
Regards,
Terry

GatogordoWhile it is not next door, I can be up there is 7 or 8 hours, so I might come, but probably won't. That is kind of dead time down here, so a day or so off won't kill me.

GatogordoBrent:
Well, you're half right, I only own 2 of them, that I can think of right now. A C. Sharps of Big Timber, Montana and a Pedersoli, both in .45-70. But I haven't been shooting them for a while, they're just gathering dust. Shiloh was ringing a bell, but I didn't answer. Big Timber must be kind of crowded with all those Sharps manufacturers running around.
