http://www.auctionarms.com/search/displayitem.cfm?itemnum=6551011look at that price <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
This rifle has been listed on AA more times in the last two years than I have fingers and toes. It is priced like the rest of that sellers merchandise - which is why his items keep getting relisted. Click on his items for sale and see for yourself.
I guess thats why he calls himself HYMIKE, must not be able to put the crack pipe down. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Hard to find but not worth no $1600.
i might buy that for 1500.
Wow, bet ya that one goes over $2000. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
I'd be bidding that one if it was in Canada. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
$100 says I know who wins the 1895 (and it ain't Jed). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Yes to you and I but "it says Savage". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
I like the checkering, but doesn't the wood look to good for the rest of the rifle or is it just me? Les
watch the 95,its a hot one!!
Hell no Les. Except for the chip on the front of the forearm this is what you should be looking for! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
I changed my mind, it's going well over $2000, maybe $2500.
Someone with a GB account wanna get me the serial number?
Guess I am way off base. Is that stock checkering, why is it varnished or is that hig sheen tung oil? Les
if someone fetched that # to me,I may call and chk it out w/JTC.
You S.O.B.!!!
You can just CALL John and get the info!!!
I've got about 8 numbers you can "check out" for me!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
It'll save me $160 U.S. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
Requesting the guys phone number to talk to him. Les
Joe,
yes,i can.I would'nt abuse it though.
see if you can buy it.I'll go fetch it for ya.Rome is about 90 minutes from me. +/-...is his name Landreth?
Waiting to hear from him. I can cover about 1800 right now. Rest would hurt. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
Les,
we got a cub on the farm.3 of the original tires,and the original seat.Seems i remember it being a 46.What no Johnny Poppers?
Dad has 5 FarmAll, I have worked on the engines of every one of them. Seems like every time I go to Michigan, I am cracking one open to repair for him. I love it. Cubs are great large garden, snowplowing and lawnmowing tractors. Easiest of the bunch to work on. My Dad's Tractors are all FarmAll, startign with an A, B, H, M and a Super M. Les
Guess that is where I get my collecting bug, he buys a few not running well but with good bodys and I get to fix 'em. The only one he bought odd was a 65 Ford 9N. What more could I ask for. Les
Based on the statement ""...and varnished plain walnut stock and fore-end." is the seller stating that the checkering was added?
That is why I asked about the finish, but I really like the checkering job on ths one. Beautiful wood on it, just that one chip in the forestock. Wonder if the numbers match. Les
(numbers match)yeah,i'll say they do.And the checkering looks right.
Jed, no BS with you, that rifle must really be something. I see what you will be paying. If I might ask what was the reserve? Les
i was looking for the reserve.seems it was 2500.
I had to sleep on it.
WOW, thats really all I can say on this. I still haven't heard from the seller. Sent a few emails to him to ask questions on the rifle. guess I wasn't serious enough for him. I am sure you will get the answers to what the serial number is. Nice. Les
I emailed also.I'd like to drive out and look at it.I could pick up the Lewis box at the same time.
I have an 1899A T/D in 38-55, and I'd be VERY hard pressed to even CONSIDER $500.00. The one on top is the 38-55 topped with a Boone. Wood has been sanded, darn it, but the metal is as good or better than the one being offered. and all the numbers match. It isn't for sale <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
LBK,
nice lookin bunch of iron.
Les,
The Lewis Machine Gun box.I bought the tag from it,off ebay last week.So i do need to make the trip.Would like to stone 2 birds,one trip.
I figured $2500, but I think your gonna have a fight on your hands, it's gonna go higher.
Especially from the 1895 collectors point of view.
Did anyone get any info? Either from JTC or the owner yet?
did you get me the ser # ?...No.I've not heard anything yet.I want to go out Friday and have a look.
He still hasn't emailed me yet, waiting diligently. Les
Serial number is 808X on the 1895, for your records Joe. Les
Wow, that one was getting close to the cut-off.
Maybe a 1897? I know my two are 1896's.
I'll have to get a copy of the letter from who-ever wins it, I know it's gonna be one of two people. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
I found a T/D 1899A in 25-35 yesterday but haven't gotten a price yet. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
look close at the metal finish.What vintage is it?Gun went back to SAC in the 20's,and guess what?It got a facelift.
I think hymike means high mike pricing that is I have the same rifle 1899B 38-55 in90% condition i picked it up last year in a gun shop for 500 bucks was offered 1800 for it but couldnt bring myself to sell. don
Dad might say...thats where 2 fools met.
Agreed, He needs to change his name to Crazy Mikes Guns. Maybe then the suckers will really fall for 'em. Les
Jed,fool maybe but well see what its worth in another five years.Don
Better check your bid Jed. Les
im all done w/it.Kinda got cold feet when i learned of the redo.
Understand, you called him then? Les
sure does look like it eh.
Les:
I have an 1895 that is SN 8081. How close is that to the one your talking about?
Elwood
Got to be within 9 numbers. it is on Gunbroker. Take alook at it. The link is posted. Les
Oops....sorry. Didn't read the entire post. Just saw the sn thing. I'll try to pay more attention.
Elwood
Wow, getting up there. Les
sigh...it aint moved in 2 days....lol,and i never went and looked at it.Emailed the guy when it went over 2500 and told him to let the jackels fight over it.
Probably see 3000 before it is over with. Les
i think its kaput,but then i thought it was kaput at 2500 too.
Could be, definitely be the first time I was wrong, probably won't be the last. Les
I'm waiting for one more bidder to show up.
Not going to be me Joe. I have done enough damage to my bank account in the last month. Les
No it ain't you, ain't me neither.
Someone I've been looking for but hasn't shown up. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Do I know his handle, I am pretty sure Jed is done. Les
You probably have seen it, but not often.
He's kinda private so I don't really wanna open my mouth to much, keep your eyes on it, maybe he'll show, maybe he won't, he's reading everything Jed said about the refinish as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
