I know the guys that have this shop. Whenever they get something in they think they can't sell in the store, they put it on auction and do really well. This is a good example, could be "restored", but man it would be a lot of work......Scott http://www.auctionarms.com/search/displayitem.cfm?itemnum=7979229

Stever, Looks like this one saw some scabbard time.
When it comes to choosing friends....I'm at an age where I'd rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

If that rifle could tell stories...

Hey Scott, the next time that you see your friends that are selling the firegun. Teach them how to slipclose the lever. They left the rifle cocked!!
Thanks, Mike...

To who or what? IMO, 21 century internet forum standards applied to someone that used that rifle during the early part of the 20th century to live the outdoor life makes no sense.
