The last month or so, I have been watching a rifle listed for auction with a potentially interesting history. The rifle, a Springfield Model of 1922, SN 129, finally came up for auction last Thursday and I was fortunate to win it.
First some background on the listing. It was listed as a...
I have recently turned 65, am in excellent heath and plan to live to 100, but am in the situation that when I depart this world, I will have no heirs to pass on my stuff. Consequently, I have been thinking about donating my Springfield Armory 1922 Training Rifle collection to a museum of...

It would be interesting to hear how individual collecting philosophies have evolved and changed.
When I began, it was initially driven by the available of cheap surplus rifles and their accessories. You could find a lot of different surplus rifles for $100 or less. So at that time, for me, it...
I have found a 1 of 12 rifle that I have decide to go to 5 figures for, and at that I may still not get it. So the question, if you found your ultra-rare unicorn, how much would you pay? I'm saying maybe once in a lifetime purchase.
