Thad SEEMED sober, but with his Southern drawl, who knows :-) I have bought a few guns from Thad (not a double, however) and the condition is usually as described and prices fair.

I did think he was quite high priced on the A&N or, to be blunt, I would have bought it since I would like to find a nice, original condition 577 in the right weight, etc. I just think he is too high on this one. Most of the other 577s I have seen have been in much worse condition or priced even higher. I he right? Who knows, and the market will have to decide.

And, as I have said before, those who deride a Webley action may be deriding their own rifles as a fair number of 'better' builders used their actions. Plus, my W&S 1920s vintage 250/3000 Savage (original chambering and like new) shots better than any other small DR I have tried or shot against. Dave
