I way prefer dealing with Kirby Hoyt in WA- he is realistic and open to reasonable offers on guns he owns- and will gladly convey your offer to his consignor, if needed. He also does not charge any Veteran the shipping costs on the guns he sells-- I am not aware of any other dealer who does that.


It all depends on who your clientele is. If one lives in real world and works for a living Kirby Hoyt of WA is one of the great places to go and buy a vintage shotgun. Some places are only for those that have others make money for them or earned it the best way possible ie inherited it from their dad (this is what southerners often refer to as Ole' Money).
