I have been gong to the KTP since before I had a drivers license. It's a neat place and the firearms section still trades and buys just about everything, from old guns to old ammo, reloaders, bags of lead, holsters, cases etc. I think they still pay a few bucks for green deer hides. Sometimes you can find a good deal, a really good deal if they misidentify something. I was fortunate to find a mismarked graded Parker once. I also saw a VHE sell as a VH, sub $1K, because I was there when somebody was already looking at it, hoping they would put it back and look at something else when I saw the forend come off, they bought it. Sometimes they take in a pig in a poke, unknowingly I think, because most used guns with issues have a price reflecting the issues. Unless they bought it wrong. Sometimes they mismark the other way too, a Remington 1900 advertised and priced as a Remington 1894 sitting for more than year comes to mind. However in the business of selling used things, caveat emptor still applies. They have some good people working there along with JD, it's good to know the managers. If you are not happy let one of them know, privately. I am fortunate, I live 15 to 20 min drive away. I still miss most of the good stuff, but every now and then....
