I read somewhere that in the 1850's they converted a bunch to percussion. This was one of those. I think that my father paid $10 for it at a yard sale back in the '60's.

I was at the range shooting it one day and the guy in the next stall looks over says that he liked my 1911. I told him it was my grandfather's gun and he carried it through both World Wars. He asked me if he was in the Marine Corps. I said that he was and I asked him how he knew that. He said that the diamonds on the grips were specific to the Marine Corps.

Next is a Savage 1899C in 303 Savage that is from 1900. ____________________________________________________________ Dying gets closer every day Lloyd McCarter and the Honky Tonk Revival

It now wears a Richards micro fit claro walnut stock and an internal barrel band to hold the front end down. Serial number dates action to 1904. Also a US M1917 Winchester, date of 1918 on barrel.
