Very Cool rifle, and Great shooting!
... i still cant believe those fire blued screws have lasted this long, i have new Shilohs just a few years old that i've already coon fingered those screws to shiny steel.
Obviously the rifle got the "kid glove" or "velvet glove" treatment for the last 144 years.
To double your money at a future sale, get some kid gloves for field use.
From your cold, dead, kid-gloved fingers someday.
Deserves a rewrite of the will,
horny-handed son of toil with coon fingers !
