Gents,

I came into a 32-40 that appears to be unfired and as close to perfect shape as I could imagine a few years ago. Just a couple minor scratches from being moved around. Any interest from one of you guys ? Thanks.

128 year old unfired 32-40?

That would bring a bazillion dollars at a RIA or Morphy auction

I did get a response from Dennis. He was nice on the phone, and sent me 15 pictures. This is certainly not unfired and suffered some serious modifications with the magazine being cut and flat spot on the bottom of the barrel. The front sight is homemade.

Make your own conclusions and help yourselves, I am not a buyer…

Obviously not a collector per se, still a neat gun in its own right!

The flat spot on the bottom of the barrel is the dovetail for the magazine tube hanger

Sounds like the rifle's pretenses and sellers credentials, both maybe bit 'Fire-shaky'. Any pix of the serial number? smile
Just my quik-take.

Best & Happy Holidays all!
