In January I had a severe Asthma attack at work and was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. This is the 3rd year in a row where I ended up in the ER for Asthma at work.
I recuperated till early March and went back to work for 9 days and all the recovery I had made since January was gone. My Pulmonary specialist diagnosed me with Occupational Asthma and I can no longer work in my field of expertise.

This has resulted in a severe reduction in my income.

Soooo, to help pay bills my "excess" guns are going to be turned to cash.

I'm still wrestling over which ones are going, but I believe these three are a good start.

Late 70's Interarms Mark X in 270 Winchester with a Nikon 3-9x40 matte finish scope.
This is a classic commercial Mauser bolt action rifle w/ 24" barrel.
I would rate the metal as 95% only because it's used but I can't see any bluing loss.
The nice walnut stock has a minor number of little scratches or mars that do not go through the finish and a 3 or 4 that do.
Weaver 2 piece bases and the rings I'm not certain who made them, but they are much better than the junk Millets that were on it when I bought it.
$550 + shipping

2012 mfg. Marlin 336C in 35 Remington, Weaver base same rings as on the 270 (I will research who made them) and a Bushnell 3-9x40 Tracker model scope.
This one is very clean except for the previous owner's drunken attempts to remove the rear sight from it's dovetail, which as far as I can tell was made with a broken screwdriver and a rock.
There are a number of small but ugly gouges around the rear sight dovetail where the "screwdriver/punch" careened off the sight and hit the barrel. It's not as bad as you might think. But it is a blemish for certain.
Other than that the gun is clean with no other marks.
$475 + shipping.

The last one is very hard for me to sell, but due to a deteriorating joint in my thumb, I can no longer shoot my 454 Casull.
Freedom Arms M83 Field Grade 6" barrel with upgraded Winewood grips.
This one has an excellent trigger, as a matter of fact it's the best I've ever had, better than my Premier Grade M97 41 Mag (aka the Tommy Gun).
Included is an SSK T'SOB base with 3 rings bought from Freedom Arms. Also includes a matte finish Burris Posi-Lock 2x pistol scope.
There is a spare parts bag with most of the internal parts that might break over time or abuse. I believe I have a couple of front sight blades I bought at CSA a couple of years ago.
Oh, and I have a Freedom Arms crossdraw holster in brown. This holster is near perfect.

$1700 + shipping and + FFL fee to ship for the M83, the base/rings and scope.

I also have good amount of brass, RCBS Carbide dies and an RCBS 452-300-swcgc 2 cavity mold that will be available to the buyer and will not go before the gun sells.
I don't have a count on the 454 brass yet and no price idea on the reloading components, dies and mold but will have one when I get pictures up later.

Asthma sucks. My second least favorite genetic disease.

You're probably already past this, but if you care to discuss, I'm on a leading edge pharms plan that has licked my lifelong asthma - assuming I continue medicating - to the degree that continues to surprise me.

Wish I could help you with the fund, but I've gun rich and cash strapped.

You are in my thoughts.

Mark, I am so sorry to hear this, My Prayers will go out for you. I hope to see you this summer, sometime around the canon shoot. I told my grandson I would take him to see it. best regards Frank McClelland

I will pass your list around and see if I can find any suck....err, "takers".

It sure was good to see you and Marty last week. It's been too long.

sorry to hear of the situation, Mark. I will attest that property and things come, are cherished, and go on to other people's lives -- yet they always remain in memory. And, now you have time to make new memories: woods loafing, and family, and enjoyment of time to look around at the newness of each day.

Praying for your health, and your family. BTW, we have new Chessie Gurl, age 16 weeks, and from the first Macha, Warrior Queen & "get those effin' puppies away from me", has at age ten, adopted and taken on the newcomer -- teaching her all the Doggie Ed a little brown girl needs to know -- including the fine art of a general row-row-row.

Take good care of yourself, and get lots and lots of fresh air. You live where you can do all the good stuff, so pack a .22 pistol, grab the best plinker rifle and start some 'woodsie ways'

As always, The Brown Dog Clan

I live in fear of the same thing happening due to my back. I will pass this list around as well.

Dave

Keeping you in our prayers
