    Talk me into/out of it!

    Well, one of the guys I work with is about to retire and doesn't feel he has the need for any of his guns once he moves away. He has offered me the following for 500 dollars:

    Ruger Security Six .357 Mag, Blued, 4" Barrell
    Marlin 336 .30-.30
    Remington 870 Magnum, 30" fixed choke

    All guns are in good shape, a ding here or there, decent bluing, etc. I already own a 336 that's in rough shape (I'm in the process of refinishing), and the only 870 I have is tacticooled out. I also own a Colt King Cobra in .357. What I'm trying to illustrate is that I already have something similar to each of these, so it's more an issue of is this such a good deal I should jump on it, even if I don't NEED any one of them.

            Assuming all are in excellent condition, I would pay:

            Ruger Security Six .357 Mag, Blued, 4" Barrell $325
            Marlin 336 .30-.30 $350
            Remington 870 Magnum, 30" fixed choke $225 for express, $375 for Wingmaster

                Jump on that deal. At the very least, it's a good way to have spares around if you need to send one of your firearms out for gunsmithing, or if you need to lend one to a trusted neighbor during the zombie apocalypse etc.
