Thanks guys, I've heard of Mr. Koosier and heard he was somewhere in the Southwest -- Arizona or New Mexico. Unfortunately, the chance for the Evans passed and I also missed out, by an hour, a chance of purchasing a Manton 450/400 3-inch for $6,000. The bores were very good, the boxlock action tight, on the face, decent engraving, the wood very bad, a restocking job in order. Didn't have the money, or didn't know if it was possible, went home and talked to my wife, the boss decided yes, it was a good investment so I went back to the show and the rifle had been snatched. A lesson learned -- act when you have the chance! Or, don't wait to consult your wife! It's hell loving double rifles and being of average means. Thanks again to all of you Down Under. I sure enjoy reading the forum. Keith |
