I would probably have to say that I would like to have the 1860 Henry Rifle prersented to President Abraham Lincoln. It's a beautiful piece. Like it was said before, we can always dream!

HOKIE - SMOKES, BULWINKLE!!!!

Yeah, you'd need a major Sugar Daddy to feed that thing!

But who among us wouldn't jump at the chance to drive it? Love to see what it would do to a Chysler K-car!!!!

The Model 1886 in 38-70 that I missed out on during an auction in my home town when I was a high school kid--for the sake of local history.

Oops, forgot to post my santa guns-

Marlin 1894, beefed WAY up and stretched a little, still with a square bolt, but with a larger, *slightly* rounded lever [not as round as a winnie], 28" oct barrel.

One would be chambered in .454 casull-.45colt, the other in .357Max-357mag.

Ebony stocks, sterling silver inlay, silver sight bead front, pearl diamond on the rear semi-buckhorn. The buttplate would rotate to open up the extra ammo stashed in the stock, and have a black leather upholstered pad stretching it out to a 15in pull length.

Oh, yeah, and a Quigley rifle, as long as we're all getting one!

But I'd like to try that tube sight I saw on Josey Wales' Sharps.
"Well' mister Carpet-Bagger, we got somethin' in this territory called 'The Missoura Boat Ride'!"

OHyeah!

I already got'em and they're Brownings and not Winchesters.

Browning model 1886 SRC--better than a Winchester since I know it's been used very little, never abused and has modern steel. EVERYTHING about this gun suits me but may have a fiber optic front sight installed to help a tiny bit with my old eyes and faster sight picture. This one has "The Old West" written all over it !!

Browning model 71 carbine--Same as above plus once I get rid of the pistol grip I'll rate it equal to the above gun. Probably also have the fore stock thinned down. Beavertails ain't for me--even semi-beavertails.
