Pics you may remember from the old forum:
(side note: all of the rifles in the first 2 pics were sold during medical financial troubles, However I recovered the 1894 Trails end from the guy I sold it to and he had not even fired it. I am still working on the 1886 TD from the same guy, also not fired by him. I have added a 1895 TD .405 to the mix as you see in the last pic. Also the Vaquero is now the new model smaller frame and I havent got my elk antler grips for it yet like the one in the top 2 pics. But it is good to be back and on the new forum. I plan on adding into the mix a 1887 lever shotgun (by norinco)
The ones on this side of the border have a slightly longer barrel (22") and the wood is stained differently (kind of orange/red) but I think those are the only differences. Once I get it I'll post some pics/comments on it.

I would be interested in how well it functions! ie is it jam free enough to count ones life on?

It is nice.... He has my Ruger #1 .375HH though that he dont want to let go of!!
Great looking guns and the wood in that bolt gun is really great.What is the that old saddle tree?It looks like it would sure ride good.Glad to hear things are turning around now.
JerryB II Corinthians 3:17, Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
And Jerry thanks, the bolt gun is a little Cooper in 17hmr. The old saddle fram was actually something that someone gave me...it still had leather but it had been outside for numerous years... the leather was completly rotted beyound any kind of repair... so I just stripped it down and hung it up!
I have sold more nice, custom bolt guns than I care to remember to expand my lever collection so I understand your thought process. That Cooper is pretty and I bet it shoots. 1886.

It does shoot! here is its factory target on the left (shot from sand bags) I can almost match it and my scope is only 16x not 32x.
Longhair,Those are some nice guns you have. Very nicely done pictures too!
If you don't mind me asking,Where did you get that hat? That's exactly the type I've been looking for to replace my poor ol' worn out Stetson.

Thats a Stetson as well. I got it custom shaped at "Perryman's" in Phoenix, AZ. I am sure that you can go to your local Stetson store and take them that pic and have it shaped!

That sounds like a heck of a plan there sore shoulder. One question though,I've got the old part down now 'zackly when does the rich part kick in?

Thanks for the info! Nice to know I don't have to switch brands.
