Trash or treasure? Cleaning out the shed!

[Ike85123]

It is very interesting of things I have forgotten about. 2 firearms cleaning kits that was xmas or bday presents about 10 to 15 years ago. A scope that I bought, just becouse it was a good deal. Never used it, been in the shed for atleast 15yrs.
10, 30rd mags for a norinko mac 90 7.62x39. The rifle hasnt been around for 20 years. And 5, 15rd mags for a beretta 92f. My wife put the gun on layaway, then 6 months later decided on a colt instead. These mags have also set in there for like 15yrs. What trash or treasure have you forgotten about?

If those are actual Norinco mags, they are selling for $50 plus when you can find them. I may be lowballing the price at that.

 

[Ike85123]

Wow, really ? I think I gave 15 or 20 for each like 20yrs ago. I will have to check that out. Thank you !

Looks like the old taco World Class target scope. In thier day they were regarded as a very good scope. I had a 4 to 12 x40 on my old 788 in 22/250 & couldn't fault it.
A mate just put an old world class 3 to 9x40 on his Winchester model 70 and it's a perfect match for the age of the rifle

I user tasco scopes alot growing up. I still have them on my 22s and my 30-30.
I bought that scope off a clearance table for 100 bucks, originally 250.
I wish that 100 would've sat in walmart stock or something for the last 20yrs instead. Lol
I bet that scope does look fine on that Winchester. Thats a nice rifle too !
Im debating on trying to mount that one on something or just moving on. Maybe see if my son can use it or just put it on the pay it forward thread.

It looks like a target scope that goes up to 40 power.
If it is it would make a great scope to put on a 22lr and use it on the 200 yard rimfire fly target and have fun.

You must have been reading my mind. Lol

Great minds think alike. Just because I'm a 35 and 25 but doesn't mean I don't like having fun and occasionally have good ideas.

Lol, I found a brand new Leupold Mark 4 10X the other day that I can not remember buying for the life of me. Funny how shit turns up in gun rooms!

I just wish I could find the 100 22K Hornet rounds I loaded
Put them away in a safe spot now can't find them.

look in the freezer, I found a J-Frame Smith and Wesson once when I cleaned out my freezer, also the spice cabinet seems to be a great place to hide shit from yourself!

The only thing I ever seem to lose at The Spice Rack is my money....

My buddy was wanting small rifle primers pretty bad this year. He finally just went to gunbroker and bought 1000 for $200. Later that week we found 3000 in his gun room.

Did that with my pay one day. Remember when we go paid in cash. Couldn't find it all weekend. The missus was cooking tea Sunday night and came out with a packet of frozen peas proudly saying I didn't know we had froze assets darling. Yes the money was in the frozen peas.

Ike85123, I think we've all "found" things that were forgotten about. Back in 2016 when we were getting ready to go to Africa, I was looking through my safes for a gun other than a 30 - 06 for my younger son. I ran across a Ruger M-77 in 300 Win. Mag. As a general rule I don't purchase Ruger rifles other than the No. 1. I still don't know when that thing snuck into my safe. LOL
