Buddy wanted a Remlin .45-70 I had won in a raffle something fierce. He told me he had "some of my Dad's old stuff I'd be willing to trade". Showed up today with a Winchester Big Bore .375 and 11 boxes of factory ammo, 5 of them the "Big Bore" boxes. Only downfall is there is a little surface rust on the rifle, and his Dad had cut/inlayed a gold coin in to the buttstock. I told him his was worth more than mine, but he wanted to swap.....
I already have one 94 .375, may look in to cleaning this one up and getting some fancy walnut stocks. Anybody know a good source for stocks?

Did he throw in the gold coin? 
While it's true that all liberals are crazy people, not all crazy people are liberals.

He did, not real unfortunately.... The "gold" value is in the little white boxes with blue BIG BORE letters on them...
