Lever actions have been raining from the sky here.
I missed out on a nice 85% finish 1894 sporting rifle made in 1901 a month ago...my favorite configuration.
$1100 and by the time I had it together someone else had bought it.
The sad fact that I'm hearing is, senior citizens on fixed incomes are being hit hard by inflation so they are having to sell off collectibles...or they are just passing on.
I've gotten several nice vintage rifles lately, and all of them have been from estate sales or from senior citizens thinning their collections through LGS consignments.
