Man-0-Man what a room full of shooters! I love that oval single action display. I want it.

Can somebody say what the big black machine gun is in the foreground?

That flintlock just below the mantle looks like it has a barrel about five feet long! What a pile of hardware.

Looks to be a Kentucky Rifle. The long ones were almost 6' in length with a 4' long barrel.

Screw the levergun---I want that BAR!!----------Sixgun

Oh, by the way, the levergun is on top of the Winchester cartridge board, which also by the way is worth about 25 g's or more :wink:

I can tell you one thing.....its a shame that a collection from days gone by with even a large Winchester display.......should not have to look that hard to find a nice lever.

The one on the floor that COSteve picked on the floor looked to me to be a rolling block.

The rifle on the cartridge board seems to have a shadow on the left side that looks loading gatish. What is the shadow?
