OP wyo1895 Campfire Tracker Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 6,513 Wyoming	I picked this up recently at a gun show around here somewhere. It was sold at a Sweetwater county sheriff's auction sometime in the last 20 or 40 years. It appears as though it was confiscated from one Frank (Mick) Mahoney. The bore appears to still have pretty good rifling. The serial # is 107xx.It has a 22" barrel. Enjoy!!

It had a half octagon barrel that was about 20" long. The buttstock had been cut down with a curve that was the reverse of a crescent buttplate. The bottom of the forearm was worn through from riding on a saddle pommel. Big chunks of wood was missing on each side of the tang and it had newer looking brass tacks in the forearm and buttstock. It was also a first year production 1899. I wouldn't pass on something like that now and am kicking myself for not buying that one. I think it was $200. David wyo1895 With Savage never say never.

Prolly split some firewood in it's time too. Something to be said about an old gun like that. The people that loved that gun and used it to carve out their existence are surely gone now.

It's obvious some whittling has been done on the stock where the 1895 cheek pads would have extended back. I can't leave it out where people can reach it. They want to pull the paper off the buttstock. There's room in the safe anyway. I just tried to google Frank Mahoney. No luck. David wyo1895 With Savage never say never.

This frank is at Riverview Cemetery, he served in WWI. There was another Frank O'Mahoney born in 1910, died 1975. He was a LTC in the Air Force WWII. Favorite pass times hunting and fishing.
