That will be a labor of love, that hunt!

My "next" endeavor is in full go mode, that is to assemble all the various barrel lengths of the model 1894. I have been selling off some of the "deluxe" '94's I've acquired in order to do this, I do not have unlimited funds. The 1890's I will probably continue to collect , especially in various configuations and upgrade the ones I have, I sure would like the maple stocked one coming up on Poulin's auction. I find the "hunt" very exciting, rather than the "having", which is very satisfying as well. Plus some of the people I meet along the way are some of life's more rewarding experiences.

Just in case you do not already have this, from the ARMAX Vol V;

I saw that one too they had on display in Cody. Very beautiful.

Had planned on waiting a few weeks to let Harry enjoy the fruits of his 1890 project before enquiring as to his next endeavor. It seems Mr. Mero is already off on his next adventure with the beautiful 1894's. Nicely played, thanks for sharing the pics!

OK then, these '94's just keep gathering at My house. Here's 3 that got loaded in the Lincoln at Cody and drove all the way across the U. S. to Ontario with Me and Brenda. The 23" I already had, but don't they make a nice set of special order , non deluxe , 1894's, especially with the magazine lengths. And the 1st. model round barrel is an improvement on the one I have.

20-lashes at the Yardarm, then a keelhauling for you!

Would you reduce the charges if I told you I also bought 2 lbs. of 4064, the Model 42 book and a box of ammo for the 1866?

Apparently my focus at Cody this year was the model 55

I came home with a pistol grip in 30 WCF and a a stainless steel bbl in 30 also

I did not start out to collect 55s but I really like the look and they are a bit of a challenge to find the variations.

Sometimes we little control over what follows us home, good to see you again! Your Single Shot collection is certainly growing. Good stuff!

I picked out a Sharps before the Greeley show. Paid it off and picked it up in Cody. I have another Win single shot that I might buy. This one is possibly one of one and doesn't match the letter. Once owned by Flayderman in the early 70's. It is not an 1885. But it is a single shot long range target rifle.
