Wish this post came up before the Vegas show. Randy may have had it in Vegas but I don’t remember what was on his table. Randy only deals in the best.

There is always “dishing” in a harsh reflection around screw holes even on original examples. The rifle mentioned here is 100% original finish.

Thank you.

Yeah, I agree it is priced too high. At least $5k if not $10k too high. I realize it has it’s plusses but it’s no 36 inch barreled rifle.

Thanks Tom. I didn’t catch that. Makes more sense now.

In your expert opinions, what would be a more desirable model 1894 considering collectability and resale, this first model, or a second model deluxe take down, same caliber, with deluxe features such as H checkering, and pistol grip.

thanks,
