A few weeks ago, I posted 12 firearms for sale. Most are sold.
A friend of mine has asked me to help him clean and sell a variety of firearms. All of these are used and I have recently field stripped and cleaned all of them. For the most part, they have all been in closets for many years, some in cases, some not. I have cleaned them but I have NOT fired any of them and cannot warrant or attest to their working condition, although the owner believes they all work. As to the history of these, most were acquired by the owner’s grandfather or father. Some were brought back from Europe after WW1 or WW2. Only one of these is even close to being called a ‘safe queen’. The rest are used and I have tried to be descriptive both as to condition and any faults I see.
I am going to post the verbal descriptions in this thread and am providing a link at the top of this post for you to go to my Webshots page if you wish to view photos of the firearms for sale. EACH album in Webshots is labeled as to manufacturer and model and they are all marked “(FS)” meaning For Sale. I will answer questions as I receive them and ask that instead of posting private messages, you please email me ([email protected]) using the following subject :

TERMS & CONDITIONS:
All firearms are offered for sale in compliance with Federal and state laws for the transfer of firearms. For long guns, I will only ship to a FFL after the buyer has sent me a signed copy of the FFL. For pistols, they will be shipped from my FFL to yours. Payment will only be made with US Postal money orders. Since I am not the owner of these firearms, I will provide each buyer with the name and address of the seller along with a copy of his Illinois Driver’s License and his FOID card (Firearm Owner ID used in Illinois). For local Illinois buyers, if we can arrange a convenient meeting place, we can do the transaction according to Illinois law; otherwise, I will ship to your FFL. These firearms are offered for sale without warranty, however the seller is offering a 3 day inspection period to each buyer. Funds will be held by me until either (1) the passing of 3 days or (2) the buyer tells me he is keeping or sending back the firearm. Firearms will be shipped insured and Buyer will pay shipping and handling costs. If a buyer returns a firearm, the buyer agrees to pay shipping costs both ways.
If you go to Webshots to view the photos, you should be able to see thumbnails or blown up photos. I frankly prefer not to take added photos but will consider reasonable requests.
