Post by: coop2424 on December 15, 2009, 05:11:27 PM: Let me know if you still need a home for it. I could use it for a parts gun for one of my grandmas guns since there are a couple pieces that need to be replaced. Thanks

Post by: coop2424 on December 15, 2009, 05:19:57 PM: haha I guess I should have looked at your location first since you are a little ways away. If someone close can pick it up let them have it as for I will not be getting anywhere near you anytime soon...

Post by: jackelope on December 16, 2009, 07:12:56 AM: whacker1 has the old gun spoken for....
with that said if he decides he doesn't want it or can't make it over here or whatever... i want to make a few things clear.
this is not a gun that i would say you could put back together and safely go out hunting with. this is what i would consider a parts gun...kinda like an old parts car. the front stock has been donated to someone else, there's some rust in the blueing, it's in a million pieces, etc. i just don't want to say this is a safe gun to go out shooting. if you need some parts, perfect. if you're a gunsmith and want to put i tback together, great....but this is NOT A FREE HUNTING RIFLE!!

just want to be clear on the condition of this old rifle.
