Can't live without the kidney and you should note that I said ONE of my Garands, not all of themThe Garand or the kidney?
My current policy is to never sell a gun. I've done that in the past and always regretted it, maybe decades later but still regretted it.Yes, quite sure I won't trade a kidney for one.
Not THAT difficult to scrounge up money. I can always *GASP* sell a different gun to fund what I want.
Never sold one but traded once. Feel like I got the best of the deal but from time to time I wish I still had what I traded away. I put more thought into purchases now than in the past and have a no sell/no trade policy as well.My current policy is to never sell a gun.

Gunbroker is horrible for pricing. I'm not sure how anyone buys anything there.

give me a break, I was making an exception, you know the whole death thing changes your perspectives. but I did set a pretty high bar.LOL, you literally offered to sell me one for a kidney.
I have a threshold over market for most stuff but there are one or two that divesting of the gun and ammo would probably not be totally regrettable.
Though I do aim to find the money some other way.

Does this mean you're considering it, I do have more than one Garand, I could up the offer to two
Ok.. Garand guys.. I don't reload (yet, maybe).. but should I save the 30-06 brass? Any value to that? Is it even worth it after adding the cost of equipment, supplies, etc.?
Yes definitely save the brass.Ok.. Garand guys.. I don't reload (yet, maybe).. but should I save the 30-06 brass? Any value to that? Is it even worth it after adding the cost of equipment, supplies, etc.?

Throwing away brass, any reloadable brass, is like throwing away cash, cold, hard cash...

Always save your brass at min you can easily sell your once fired brass for 10 cents each.Ok.. Garand guys.. I don't reload (yet, maybe).. but should I save the 30-06 brass? Any value to that? Is it even worth it after adding the cost of equipment, supplies, etc.?

The powder measure works really well with those coarse stick powders that you’ll most likely use with a Garand 30-06. Works real well with 4064.i think lee offers better kits.
I own and use Lee stuff
The scale works but they all seem to break?
I dont like the powder measure,
The primer feed system on that is soso.
As long as people accumulate components on a regular basis and build up a stash BEFORE an ammo scare hits. That stuff dries up just like factory ammo does. I know you and others who reload know this, but just thinking some people may have the idea that they can pick up reloading halfway into a drought when theyre having trouble finding ammo only to find that powder and primers are nowhere to be found either.Yes definitely save the brass.
Depends how often you shoot. The other thing to look at is when there’s an ammo drought like after SH, being able to make your own ammo is HUGE. Aside from the money saving part.
At this point ImHO if you dont have a 3yrs supply of your normal shooting and your not resupplying as your using uo your inventory your going to be with out ammo/supplyAs long as people accumulate components on a regular basis and build up a stash BEFORE an ammo scare hits.

i will restock at around 25-30% I also "buy" my ammo and reloads from myself so theres always a little cash on hand .
I will go against the grain.. for $500. I’d buy an SKS and a much ammo I could for what ever is left over.
