i told ya it was nice, I KNEW it was nice. I just can't drop everything and run. I need to free up a little more time that I can call my own. At least he held it for me till we could seal the deal.

What a super rifle. I have to ask what the other, higher priced option was.

Same identical gun, minus the tang sight and with a little less condition. I have to say that the other 1899 250-3000 was also VERY nice.

Think I saw this gun yesterday... You MAY have, but I highly doubt it. Saw one just like it at the Syracuse show. Guy had 2 of them...

One of the "Guy had 2 of them" was the "other" gun I mentioned. It just wasn't as nice as this one and the price was steeper than this one.

Yeah. He was pretty proud of both of them.
One was right the other wasn't

I got an idea DGF would know if one was right or not, if it wasn't he would say so.

If the pie plate gets in front of it, it will be perforated for sure. It's one of those guns that doesn't come along everyday for me so I had to strike while the iron was hot. Someone told me they wished I was a collector rather than a shooter...............I need to have a LONG chat with that fellow. way to go LBK very nice , you seam to have a gun magnet for the good ones, I think its called coin and contacts 250s seam to be coming out of the woodwork I've bought 6 this last month and sold 4, kept an original 183xxx with checkered trigger just a little less nice than yours and a 1950 EG which is perfect except for those side drilled holes on the top of the reciever condition was to nice to pass for now. norm

Well there you have it...
Factory perch bellies with raised ramp front sights.
What's next, T's with gold triggers?

What MIGHT be next is that some around here remember that if you haven't something decent to say, say nothing at all. There are several around here that don't need a ton of someone else's "data" to know when a rifle is right or wrong. Some already have "one of everything" and some are working on it. Don't worry, be happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like one of DGF's and two of Foglio's Model 250-3000 have replacement (or modified) .250 barrels. Is that not correct? They are what they are. I see nothing wrong with stating the facts.

Yep.. Fug even says one has a 24" later barrel. And we've seen some guns from the 20's with perchbellies, and we've seen some early guns that sold much later, and we've seen guns that went back for factory work. And we've seen guns with swapped parts.
I'm guessing Fug ain't buying guns with swapped parts too often, so probably they shipped late or went back for factory work.
