And the musket - lots of blue which you often see on these. I don't think I've ever seen one that appeared, "hunted hard" that hadn't also been cut down/sporterized. I know I wouldn't be eager to carry one in the woods. Generally, the rifles I find appealing must have aesthetic appeal. These muskets fail miserably in this regard. My thoughts anyway

That place is pretty much for the high rollers and not for a retiree like me. But I spend a lot of time looking at their offerings and wishing for an unknown relative to die and leave me a BIG pile of $$. Unfortunately, the only ones that die all lived in Nigeria. yooper

Not impressed. _______________________________________________________ An 8 dollar driveway boy living in a T-111 shack LOL

Wonder what else they didn't show? Savage...never say "never". Rick... Join the NRA...together we stand, divided we fall!

So far all the cracks have held up, most of the time the actual bid ends up higher than the high estimate. \ Oh well, Bart
