Needed money for something in the late 80s so I sold my S&W Model 66 4" barrel, including the original grip, a zebra-wood grip, and a Pachmayr grip. The Pachmayr was always on the gun but man that zebra wood sure was pretty.
Agree that article provides no information on firearm buybacks, and I am still waiting for Louisiana to offer one so I can get a little money for an old worn-out revolver with action too loose to lineup the cylinder with the barrel. Where's government waste when you need it?
