$40-$400. If you see anything you want I'll quote you a price. Most of this stuff has been out of print for years and is hard to find. Many are author signed. Some titles can't bee seen as they were printed with no spine. I'll try and break them out and get some pics....mostly trade gun stuff.
To keep this from going completely off the rails please clearly state what you bought when you send your payment. And you real name and "handle" is helpful too.



At the request of a couple members who previously had cartridge and Civil War era posts removed, moderator me removed some stuff. Trying to be fair I guess. richpierce
Thanks for that Rich. You just beat me to it. Those interested in those titles should look at the ASSRA forum or Gunboards.com in a day or two. I tried to talk Tim Crosby into buying those titles so I could remove them but he wasn't interested.... ;)

The Kieth book may be sold....we'll see. Maryland is $40 and the JHATs are falling apart so $40 for the whole lot. So $80 for what you want depending on the kieth book.
