Interesting striations on the first rifle and it looks like they may also be on the second rifle. Is that in the metal or is it wear of some sort?

You will see that in almost all of the receivers of these old flat sided guns. It is from the process of making the steel in the action and the striations are what shows up years after they were made...

Very nice find!!!
Got a brown medium frame in 44-40. Shoots like a champ. Always wanted a large frame.

Sweet! If only that old girl could talk...
Imagine your grave on a windy winter night. You've been dead for 70 years.
It's been 50 since a visitor last paused at your tombstone.....
Now explain why you're in a pissy mood today.

We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

Wish we had shows like that around here.
Blue and wood anything is outnumbered at least 25 to 1 by black and plastic.
I hunt pawnshops for older classic rifles.
Gunshows around here kinda suck.
But every so often you can find something.

A doggone good looking gun for sure. Nice snag.
Thinking here also about the striations. Wondering if it was the last direction of the forging process. Or... if cast, the direction it was poured.?
