OfflineMy favorite gun shop came thru again. A 3rd Model 1890 in .22lr and a Model 61 in .22 Mag. This 22 mag is actually nicer than the first one I declined to buy. He said there are a few more rifles & pistols to pick up, but didn’t think I would be interested. I told him to just let me know and I’ll head right down. What a great way to start the weekend!

I have done the shop owner some favors (took several high-end antique pistols to shows in Las Vegas, Tulsa & Reno last year… sold most at prices he never dreamed). So it’s a “quid-pro-quo” thing…. plus, I bring cash…lots of cash. I’ve done business at the shop for almost 20 years. Still, it’s been an amazing estate that he is selling. I don’t know who the person was, but they liked good stuff.

Could be the other way around, dealer seems to know his customer.

That’s the epitaph every WACA member strives for.

OnlineBen,
Very Nice!!
For my late production Model 90 survey, what is the serial number on that rifle? Also, Michael would like to know what the serial number is on the Model 61.
For a “sight” guy, you are acquiring some very nice .22 rim fire rifles. If you get tired of that Model 61 22 Mag, let me now so that we can do some haggling & bartering.
