Practically every thing is in the 4 digit if not 5 digit range, price wise.   It’s not within my ROI budget.

Interesting that his estate chose Gun Broker over RIA.

RIA takes a pretty big chunk of the cash.  Plus from what i understand it takes a long time to get your guns/ money.  I personally have never won an auction, but i have bid on stuff.  their current buyers premium is 17.5 or 18.5%  plust 3.5% if you use a cc.   thats 21% on top of the price.  bit steep for me.  gunbroker on their collectors elite auctions is only a 10% buyers and no sellers fees.   they are covered by CEA.   so there is that aspect of things.

That's good to know. I want auction off my 75th Anniversary PPK and display case, and didn't know who I should go through. I don't think a local auction is the way to go.

Didn't Metcalf get himself in some "Uncle Fudd" trouble?  I'm remembering he got fired or something...right?

I see an IAI Automag III 9mm Win. Mag. and a couple of Dan Wesson .445 SuperMags, one of them a Prototype Alaskan Guide model. Starline make 9mm Win Mag brass and theree's at least one company selling loaded ammo. The 115 Gr. Lehigh Defense EXT. Penetrator @ 1,550 FPS and 613 FT/LBS sounds like it would be a good load for bear defense, instead of the .45 ACP ammo I have.

Too rich for me but anything the .41 Magnum can do, the 10 Magnum can also do, and perhaps do it even a little faster and a little better. Doubletap, Reed's Ammunition, and Aria all make 10mm Magnum ammo. I wasn't sure anyone did. All 6 loads at Doubletap say it's ONLY for 10mm revolvers that have been modified to fit this cartridge! The weakest of 4 loads at Aria is listed at 1,000 ft/lbs. Reed's 200g Hollow Point is 1,620 FPS and 1,165 Ft-Lbs of energy, but that should be a lot better from a 16" barrel, and it would be an interesting AR conversion for hunting in areas that require straight-wall cartridges. And it could use long, aerodynamic bullets loaded out to .223 OAL. Kase Reeder of Reeder Custom Guns used to make the Ultimate Ten pistol, a 1911 chambered in 10mm Magnum. That would be so cool to have. Starline makes brass that can be necked down to make a couple other calibers.
