I would hate to have been there when it happened.

Thanks.

Dont know how a feller could break one like that but if it stays low enough theres plenty of parts I can use.

.44 Mag? Or a detonation on the carrier. Bad juju for sure.

If I wasn't on a self imposed moratorium on projects I'd go for it.

I'd love to retro fit the stock and forearm to my 1894 Cowboy.

I agree with Griff, a detonation somewhere before the action was closed and locked. Poor rifle.

I would be concerned with a buldged chamber. 1886.

Thats ok. Theres lots left besides the barrel.

Like as not I wont even bid unless it stays very low.

It seems far fetched but it does look like the gun went off out of battery.
