Have you ever bought half of a revolver? Me neither....until yesterday. A very desirable gun was coming to market in a few days from a collection here on the forum and thanks to Bushog, I didn't have the funds for the gun but it's good to have friends. Me and a notorious anti stainless fellow here bought a FA 97 that had been through the hands of Hamilton Bowen and Roy Fishpaw. We have formed the Oklahoma syndicate, for lack of a better term. We both work in the oil and gas world but he is firmly planted and I'm a gypsy traveler. You have all seen it before and in a couple of weeks you will see it again. There are a lot good people on this forum.

Frankly, shared purchases between friend makes sense to me. If a couple of friends are close enough they don't have to ship the gun back and forth then both get into something for a let less money. Just make sure there is a buy out agreement ahead of time for when that time comes down the road.

Honestly, I sold him one of my guns years ago and bought it back recently and could barely tell it had been used..... Nobody around here is interested in such silly things as custom single actions....

I'm sure Tim said the 41 Special single six is collateral if he drops the FA. I might have heard that wrong...LOL
Tim and I have traded in the past. I'm sure we will trade out the half at some point in the future. I wanted it to end up where it will get shot and not shelved. Mine don't get shot as often as I like but there are no safe queens.

I have carefully cleared all rocks from my gun range to avoid the perils that Greg speaks of.
Greg couldn’t tell that I shot his 475 much, but my neighbors sure noticed it.
