Assuming most of that isn't junk, I'd really like to see Aim buy it and sell it to us.
The inventory is pretty astonishing. They have something like 6,000 Spanish M1916s. Personally, I'd be interested in some of the Swedish stuff listed and maybe a CZ 52. |

I am surprised it took this long for that to happen as they had a very "odd" business model and way of conducting themselves. That being said, every piece I have bought from them over the decades has been in impeccable condition.

Lots of neat stuff though.

The pages and pages of guns listed http://static.auctionservices.com/documents/148074/3550-INV.pdf look interesting (on paper at least.) Lots of 91/30s and M24s, SKSs, M1895s. |

Do you not remember the Enfields!?! Do you know how long those sat in the warehouse? And all the other random stuff that's back there? |

there are a number of reports saying that 90% of it was junk or parts guns from people who have walked through and see it.
No surprise Empire would think it was all crap. |

I don't run in the local collectors circle but my take of their opinion on Samco's business or inventory was not positive. Hopefully, someone can pick it up on the cheap and make use of the inventory.

"meh, it's ok stuff, but all of the good stuff was picked out."
btw some of the pictures show a whole wall of what i assume to be new in the box guns, pallets of ammo, and then boxes and piles of surplus rifles, parts, ect. (looked like atleast a pallet worth of mauser bolts). there has to be money to be made there (if you're in this industry, and you can get it cheap.), however the last liquidation auction i attended at a local gun shop the stuff sold for more than it was marked while in store.

People that are shelling out +6 digits for inventory that would take them a year or more to get rid of will be checking it out in person so there is not reason for Denise to lie.

Right, but the people running gun companies are busy folks right now. Everyone talking about how it's all shit, and plenty could say fuck it, I don't have the time to waste looking at shit. |
