(Mods, please don't lock/trash this, it's not going to be advertisement for an EE trade or anything, just honest curiosity.)
I'm thinking of trading my old Czech 8mm Mauser (with bayonet) for a shotgun. I'm thinking 12 ga. but not the typical fudd long ass barrel shotgun. I'm curious, would this be a decent trade? I mean, would anyone honestly be interested in trading a shotgun for an old Mauser?
Also, I'm thinking of trading my Springfield Armory XD40 (Service Model) for a 1911. I'm kind of wanting a 1911 with some type of rail on it, since I just got a new M3 light this Christmas, I'd kind of like to be able to put the light on it. Would this be a good deal? I traded a Springfield Armory U.S. Mil-Spec GI .45 1911 +50 for the XD40 that I have now, and I have regretted it ever since. I'd like to do a straight up trade for a 1911, but I honestly don't know if I can. That's why I'm asking you guys! :-)
Sooo tell me ARFCOM, would these trades seem realistically achievable?
