To All Friends and Fellow Enthusiasts,

I’m reaching out today, especially to those who know me personally, to share something difficult. Over the past couple of years, I’ve faced some serious health setbacks, and many include severe orthopedic in nature, that have significantly affected my mobility and overall quality of life.

As many of you know, I’ve always had a deep appreciation for fine firearms and optics, with a particular eye for quality, craftsmanship, and style. With a heavy heart, I’ve come to the point where I need to let go of most of my collection. This isn’t a decision I take lightly, but it’s become necessary given my current condition and facing permanent disabilities.

Before I take anything to auction, or gunbroker or gunsinternational, I wanted to offer them first to this community. I know many of you share the same passion and would value these pieces as much as I have over the years. I am trying to liquidate most everything by hunting season. I am selling stuff locally to friends and acquaintances as well, so there may be stuff spoken for as I listed below.

​

Among the collection are many shotguns, including classic examples from Merkel, Simson, JP Sauer, and beautifully made Ferlach drilling. There are also high-grade Browning Superposed guns including pigeon grades in .410, along with Berettas, Benelli’s, and many Remingtons—some of which are still unfired and in their original boxes. I also have Ithaca shotguns Flues Guns, Model 37’s and a particularly special Model 42 Winchester Deluxe Skeet Grade from 1941.

In addition to the shotguns, I have quite a number of fine rifles, including custom Model 70s, Mausers, Anschutz Rifles, JP Sauer, Blasers, Sakos, and Brownings, Rugers as well as a large selection of Remingtons including som Model 7600s.. Many of the custom rifles were built by members of the American Custom Gunmakers Guild and are truly one-of-a-kind pieces.

There’s more beyond that, including a range of high-quality optics. If anything mentioned sparks your interest, then keep an eye out on AH. I will try and answer any requests but it really is an overwhelming process, and I have to do my best to go down my lists in order. I’d much rather see these go to people who truly appreciate them than into the hands of anonymous buyers at auction. You may see these posted on Longrangehunting, and 2 other forums as well.

I will start listing guns every few days, as I list them here, if they don’t sell in few days then I will have to post them to gunbroker and or gunsinternational as I need to stay on track to sell everything. I can take electronic payments but PM first. I also take Postal MO, cashiers checks, and zelle. I will not take Personal Checks, I don't have the time to wait for them to clear.

Thank you all for your friendship, support, and shared enthusiasm over the years. It means more than I can put into words.

Warm regards,

Jager_Waffen

Not easy to hear the tough news and it says something about each of us on how we choose to deal with it. Wishing you strength and more than anything time to enjoy whatever you have left in the tank.

I’m interested in any large calibers you have. 40 cal and up.

Thank you all for the kind words.. definitely didn't expect this.. I am a open book, so basically was in a car accident from a 81yr old woman that was on a cell phone, rear ended me doing 55mph while I was at a stop light.. I am loosing a lot of use of my right dominant arm.. along with constant severe pain. Just really sucks along with other issues..

Life is short, don't go without anything you want that is in reach... Had to sell my business, lost my fun and am loosing my mind over it... I also have been an archery hunter since I was 12.. gone..., fly fishing since I was a young kid... gone... Guess I will take up stamp collecting and counting the clouds...

Moral, is watch out for the innocent old lady... I guess no matter what age they are, women seem to take our stuff in the end...

Sorry to hear about that. I was in a bad accident at work myself 10 yrs ago this coming sept. It took me 3 yrs and to get back to feeling better. And my doctors said I would never work in construction again. They were wrong. You will be in my prayers. The hard days are bad. I feel for ya.
