Re: Hey guys, What about failures?

Curl,

That is still way out of my checkbook league.

I did get a chance to look at the one locally. It is in a private collection. It is quite nice but has seen it's fair amount of use. Case colors on the protected areas are quite nice but almost gone one the exposed areas. The blacking is worn pretty well in the typical areas. The wood doesn't show as much figure as the one on the Cabelas site either. What i found/find interesting is the differences between the rifle and shotgun actions. Like do you think the tang area behind the standing breech was extended on the rifles to try to strengthen the union with the stock head? Also seems as though the sideplates are a little closer to the standing breech on the shotgun. All interesting stuff.

Bill
