Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors King of Rats 1895 for $220

No not ME !!!!!!! anyone Drunk enough to whittle that aint got no fingers left !!!!!!! , i do think the bolt and firing pin might be all right !!!!! Don

Bidding is up to $95 with 7 days left. Somebody is gonna get itchy. That would make a great project for someone going to gunsmith school, or someone who needs a new oar for their boat.

if it was in a fire,that could account for the missing wood,.i have seen some that were not burnt per say but rather the stocks ,or parts thereof were turned to charcoal,in a safe but warm worm to the touch ,forarm was charcoaled very deep compared to the butt stock ,i presume because forare was higher and being smaller dimensions heated more quickly .

thats to bad meatle could have been steelwooled and reblued.

Dmn! That's just plain ugly!

Sadly, it reminds me of a POS 1895 I saw a few years back at a gun show, turns my stomach just thinking about it... same idea, nothing salvageable short of maybe a few interior parts. Sorry I ever seen it.

If I had the extra money I wold buy it just to give it a proper burial or cremation.

Good kindling, and a very classy steel tomato stake, with a few parts left over for the junk box. Of course with the barrel being re-lineable, and if one had a decent bare '95 receiver...

Sorry if I stepped on any of your Cubbies toes Joe. I was a Cub Scout myself once and had I gotten drunk back then the Cubmaster (my dad) would have blistered my butt so bad it would still be red. (I know, he did that when he caught me smoking, in uniform, out behind the Grange Hall during a meeting. Next time caught I was in Boy Scout uniform and he just tried to talk sense to me instead. Didn't work either time.)

Barrel has also been bobbed, front sight is too close to the muzzle. If the internals are good the bolt is worth the asking price imho

Hey Gary, knew you were jokin, so was I. Still haven't made it up to the farm in WV, and I still have you book marked for the next time we get up there, Joe.

it might make a neat paper weight for a desk... or I saw picture one time of just a receiver that was set in a mold and framed with glass... pretty cool...

Heck, I was the first bidder and IM not even mad that you posted it I though that for the opening bid plus shipping it was worth the parts but even the lever is messed up...
