    Inquiring minds want to know. I'm especially interested in the Hakim and Rashid final sales prices along with anything military after those two.

    AAR (after auction report)

    I bought #4 and #15 on the list and had to leave to get to kids games. There was an amazing assortment of stuff that was not on the gun list (non-guns). The quantity of ammo alone was quite respectable. I am only familiar with the cost of ww2 era ammo but it seemed to be going for almost half of what I though it was worth based on where I buy mine on-line.

    Inquiring minds want to know. I'm especially interested in the Hakim and Rashid final sales prices along with anything military after those two.

    The one auction I or someone sitting with me didn't write the prices down for all the firearms. I did write some down.
    #51 the International Harvester Garand went for $1700.
    #52 the Smith Corona 1903A3 went for $475.
    #56 the British Enfield No5 Mk1 carbine went for $375.
    #57 the British Enfield Pattern 15 went for $275.
    #108 the Springfield Armory Garand Tanker went for $900.

    #94 the Springfeild Armory U.S. Military .45 ACP model 1911 went for $2600, I believe the most expensive firearm sold there.

    There was no transfur fee for those with out a FFL, but you still had to go down to the gun store to do the paperwork. There was a good crowd to start, but was thinning out quickly after about 12:30. It was just wraping up as I left at 3:00pm.

    There were deals to be had, for .308 Win two 1,000 round lots went for $450 each. Some .45 ACP went for as little as $18.60 a box of 50 once figured, but some went for as high as $30.17 a box of 50 once figured. The first round of buyer's choice RCBS dies went for $10 a die. The Lee 6 cavity bullet molds went for something like $15 a set. Best deals seemd to be on the magazines. Many had left before they were sold. The 9mm magzines for the Bushmaster AR15 9mm pistol sold for $20 for 7, but they promag.

    #4 sold for $950 colt .223 hbar ss float bbl with 6x-24x burris signature scope (from what I have researched on the scope it is about a 10 yr old scope, has a twilight/daylight selector ring.)
    #15 sold for $1200 SA .308 M1A standard with 10rd mag and barely a scratch on it.
    I badly wanted both of these type of rifles, I'm happy with the deal. I am patiently wating for ammo to arrive.
