Used Military arms!!!

I was at my local gunshop this morning when "Bubba" parked his truck out front and came into the shop. He asked, "Can I sell you some used hunting guns?" The shop owner said, "Bring them in so I can evaluate them." It was raining steadily at the time. Bubba opened the passenger door and brought in 8 long guns, four each trip. None were in cases, all got wet and it did not hurt the condition of any arm. I saw a British Enfield, two SKSs, and other junk that all had an orange-patina of rust from muzzle to breech!

I went outside to chat with a friend on the sidewalk. About 3 minutes later I saw Bubba exit the store with 4 long guns and the shop owner was right behind with four more "Boat Anchors!" Oil is cheap and gun cases can be homemade from old pant legs in the family rag bag. I am sickened to see how badly some folks treat fine guns. What can anyone say about such things?
