Top Left shot was called "out" ..

to tinker with and customize (today) they just looked like a relatively untapped source. Rugers, Hi-walls, Martini's, Sharps all seem to command very high prices. And you can certainly find expensive Remingtons too. But I think some folks don't consider them.

I'm sitting on pins and needles awaiting the gunshop to open Tues. You know the drill, see something, think on it a spell, then have to wait when you decide to try a run at it. But I'll try to enjoy the anticipation. I've seen many nice, interesting guns for well under $1000 and my Sharps was double that AND a replica. Some I saw had at least $200 worth of tang sights alone!

Much like the Hi/Low wall there were several "sizes" of the Remington action denoted by "numbers" the big one is a No.1 and the small a No.4?

There were other "numbers" also ..

a modified RB "pistol" and a suitable powerful wildcat cartridge utilizing a 2" section of .30-06 brass and a .45 cal. 230 gr. bullet (did he pioneer the .450 Bushmaster?!). JD claimed it made a very suitable roar and recoil, filled with 2400. Alas, upon finding it was highly illegal, an unregistered SBR in effect he made deposit in a deep water filled pit.

I'd love to know where and have a good magnet on a rope!
