awesome rifle in great shape!  You don't see those much anymore!  Nothing like the feel and sound of an old school lever or pump action rifle!

good looking rifle. I know that there was a recall for firing pin failure on these rifles. Do a google search and you should find some info.

Thanks for the nice comments. If I remember correctly this is the 7th firearm she has bought me.  :)

 I've heard about the firing pin recall, need to look into it.

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
