Firearm temptation in Burton

Pretty piece of lever gun history up for bids in Burton

The Gunrunner in Burton, OH has another 250-plus gun internet auction planned to begin April 20, and they’ve begun to post a handful of the sale guns on their website. There are a few that have already caught my eye, including:

• Remington 11-48, .410 auto, vent rib, 25", IC
• Krieghoff Model 32 Skeet, 12 ga. over/under, German
• Remington Model 600 Magnum, 6.5mm mag., laminated
• Swedish Ljungman 42, 6.5x55mm cal. auto rifle
• Winchester Model 71 Deluxe, .348 cal., mfg. 1946
• U.S. Colt 1911A1 National Match, .45 auto

I’m sure there will be many more to follow. I visited the store last week and it was packed with its regular stock plus the guns for the auction. There was barely room to walk…wheelchair accessible? Forget it.

Gunrunner owner Scott Weber usually has a huge variety of outstanding guns for his auctions, held several times a year, and this installment looks like no exception. You also get a Girls of the Gunrunner Calendar with purchase. I’m planning to consign a few unused, dusty guns from my safe to his May auction.
