I wasn't even intennding to get another gun... I was in Sitka Deers part of town yesterday, stopped by for a cup of coffee and he handed me a 39a mountie that was in need of some tlc. I've never had a levergun, and the mountie just feels right in the hands. Well I made the mistake of thinking I'd make an offer too low, and he accepted, so it followed me home. It's going to need a fair session of steel wool, wd-40 and some cold blue, clean up the stock as well as a new rear sight. The action is in good shape, well except the firing pin is broken. I'm planning on putting a williams foolproof on it, and think it just might bag some hairs this winter. I know the boys will have fun making empties.
