That's a nice Ross, Boltman. I read somewhere only a few known in that caliber. Thanks. If anyone here has another, or knows of another, I'd like to hear about it. Here is my 1905 vintage 35WCF with shotgun butt and virtually no bluing. Stock is beautiful though...

It wont fit in any of my gun cabinets!! My mind is flying in all sorts of different directions... It would make for a very long package to ship... and if he included that .50/115 Bullard in the package... it would make for a very heavy package... BUT... what a wonderful package Sorry guys, I'm not living in reality at the moment but at least the thoughts I am having are very pleasant.

I'm surprised (and pleased) that, some time in the last 100 +/- years, somebody didn't take a foot or so off that barrel to make it "handier". I once had a Winchester '76 45-60 that had the original 28" barrel cut to 20" to make it into a "carbine". That's a beautiful one-of-a-kind weapon and a Model 1895 collection all by itself. yooper

You couldn't use it in a scabbard on a horse, you would have to use it on a giraffe.
