I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

That's an awesome find. I'd make a plaque for it and display it somewhere.

I had the $1638. But the 43 cents? Now you are just another scalper trying to take advantage.

Funny, I was concerned it was loaded. To check it out I ran a piece of bailing wire down the muzzle . The end of the wire became visible at the hammer... (actually, I guess it was visible at the block) But I'll let you give it a test run BP.

Those are the kind of things that I find difficult to throw away... and difficult to find a perfect place to put it.

Dang neat find. Bet there is a story behind how it got there also. It appears the hammer was back on it also? I found a spent rimfire casing from the late 1800's that had been misfired. Then I guess taken out of the rifle and put back in the rifle and tried a second time. I could tell this by the 2 sets of crimps marks.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

That is a crazy cool find! If that old rifle could talk, just imagine the stories it might have to tell. It would be really neat to know it's story, darn shame that it will go untold.

That's awesome! You need to let me come out and do some metal detecting to see what else we can find!
