Re: American Rifleman magazine
No, I didn't sign up for paperless. Catfish - that sounds like that could be the same thing that is happening to me. I don't remember the notice, but it was probably there.

Re: Navy Arms Co 1858 New Army
Mine also has XV111 - The Roman numeral must have some other significance.
I bought it at the Gold Rush Gun Shop in San Fransico in 1967. I wonder if that shop is still there.

Re: Navy Arms Co 1858 New Army
I also have a Navy Arms Remington - serial number 1650 - if General Patton's was made in 1962, mine would be 1960 or so? Mine has the "G U" script on the bottom of the barrel.

Re: precious metals question
I had quite a bit and sold it - the price is high now. It might go higher or it might drop.
I think it's the time to sell, not buy - but that's just my opinion. It really is gambling.
