Springfield,

There were guys at the show who were selling these things for 769.00 and weren't budging on the price.

Mykeal,

I am glad to have someone acknowledge the comment on the charleton vendor. I let these things make me more angry than they should. I still believe in the basic goodness of humankind and when I see evidence of exploitism I get mad.

A different guy had a defarbed Remington and was trying to pass it off as an original at 1750.00.

Idaho,

I think I have come to understand that you can't soothe the itch for a levergun by buying a levergun. I still want an 1873, 1866, Wouldn't mind having another M92 in a different caliber.

The Sharps that Hawg came up with and showed us in his post is a beautiful longarm and I have wanted a .45-70 Sharps for the last year.

It just never ends.
