Hello Buckstix,

You have acquired a wonderful rifle. Its history is fascinating, and it is fitting that you are the current caretaker. Your research has added quite a bit to the rifle, and with its preservation the next generation will receive the rifle knowing what a special existence it has had. I hope during the years of your ownership the rifle will log new events that will become part of its long life, to be passed along. It not only has a past, but also a present and future.

Thanks for sharing your excitement. Please update this thread with your successes as they occur, whether it be on the shooting bench or in the hunting woods.
