65 miles 1 scary tweakers house and i won!!!!

[ckelp]

well on Friday i responded to a CL add and went to look at what he had well this is what i got:

three super XL's i know i know it's upside down....

i have never seen this before

two 031's here's one of the sprockets the rest of the saw looks that good:msp_biggrin:

the guy look like he came out of some deep woods and rollin' like a fright train i think the guy was started having second thoughts about are deal, he started calling me a "low baller":greenchainsaw:
got in and got out with 11 saws, a castol 330 couple mini macs, some poulans and the XL's the worst thing i seen was some rotted fuel lines

 

[bore_pig]

Looks like a HOT deal!

 

[REJ2]

round here a tweaker is a methhead not a saw guy

 

[bore_pig]

Right. Saw stealing methheads. I say they're HOT.

 

[ckelp]

i would not be surprised if there hot
i think i seen a repair tag on one i may have to give them a call
i more or less think the guy was given a bone yard of saws and he was just slinging them on CL

 

[BroncoRN]

How much did it all cost ya? Stuff like this is why I carry a gun!!

well living in California i whet to this deal with two 6" throwing knifes in my boot and a razor sharp folding knife in the pocket with my hand on it the hole time:redface:
i gave him $150 for all of them as soon as the cash was i his hand i was throwing the saws in the back of my truck as fast as i could and getten' down the road as fast as i could:biggrin:

No pictures of the 'scary tweaker house'? :msp_rolleyes:

Your Roper looks to be in fine condition, got a few of those here myself and they are quite impressive at 61cc. The "Bolt Action" was the original Oregon Power Sharp system from the 70's, I can see you have a regular chain so don't try to use it. There is a thread on here where another member has been rebuilding them

well when i was walking up to the door i was thinking about snapping a pic but then i got to the door and seen old fitted sheets for blinds and a hunk of poster bored half hass covering the windows in the front door i thought ohh boy then a creepy old guy peeking his head out behind the poster bored to check me out. at that point in time i decide not to lollygag around..:msp_unsure:and do a gab and go..

We have some downright scary backroads places here in NY, I always bring my crazy buddy with me and he sits in the truck with a couple automatic weapons on his lap, I never had a situation where had to step out but it is nice to know he is there and they can't see what is going on due to the dark windows. As far as the guys with matching AK's, I would bet dollars to doughnuts you happened upon a meth lab, there are lots of them about 10 miles south of me and everyone just kinda avoids the area, it is on a reservation and kind of lawless.
