this gun was my great grand fathers and he bought it new in 1918 or 1919 there is a descrepency when you look up the serial # i guess because they didnt keep good records back then. i never ever met the man or if i did i dont remember it. i do remember my great grand mother all though i didnt enjoy going to her house because she didnt have any toys or cable. my grand father which i half ass kinda know he was kinda of a gypsy between florida and up vermont/ new hampshire he decided to give my parents this gun and a stevens shot gun to hold for me and my brother this was at least 25 -28 years ago and i went over there tonight to finally claim what was mine and my dad did not seem to keen on giving it up AT ALL !!!! i think he thinks it was his! this isnt the most valuable gun either he or i have but it means the most to me and im thrilled to finally have it in my posession. i have a box of of 20 silvertips that i bought and due to the odd ball caliber they were $40 and that was a good deal too. they finally started remaking the brass and all the rest so you can finally buy a new bullet for this gun. the new rounds are not being made by the big names like remington or federal or winchester but at least i will be able to fire this gun after i give it a good cleaning. this gun hasnt been fired in at least 50 years so i cant wait !!!
