Thread: Anyone ever traded in a rifle before?

I felt raped when I walked out, but I was glad I had my centrefire up and running.


As others have said, you're not gonna win by trading anything in. If you haven't got much to lose on the rifle on the other hand, and the dealer has something else you're after, then that may be another story.

Isn't it possible to single feed it?

That is rape and pillage.

We shall see. I am not holding out hope

I could have single fed it...there are many things I could have done (better) on that miserable day. Lol
