My mother in law had a gun for me for the past 6 years.
She didn't tell me what it was (she knew what it was) and told me I can pick it up anytime and it was worth it to pick it up.
She lives in Yachats Oregon (I am in Bellingham) 6-7 hour drive.
Her friends (male friends) keep wanting to buy it from her and keeps telling them no.
So, what the hell, I pick up my son in Bothell and we head down on Tuesday.
I get there and she brings out a Colt Python, Blued, 4"...PRISTINE. I don't think it was ever shot.
As per the serial number, it looks like it was made in 1977.
So, for me, well worth the drive....Plus I got away from the wife for a couple days, got to hang out with my adult son and spend a little time with the MIL-she is great people.

I might post pictures if I get around to it.
This is just a little brag post for my wonderful gift. It is now the best, most expensive gun in my small collection.

I’m pretty sure we have a rule against posting threads like this without any pictures.

A+ for gun

Minus points for shitty contrasting background.

( Really I'm just jelly.)

Really nice gun.

It's not a evil black gun.
So I'll only give you $50 for it.

This thread is full of win. There's no issue with a "flex thread" in situations like this. :thumbsup2:

Congrats, dimwit13!
