Ok, I’ve never owned a tractor so I’m not going to follow off topic on this thread anyway.
Here, they are called “yard art”. Lots of them here in front yards. Big Larry, Cedar City, Utah.
“Ole Green” is mint, will start at 30 below and runs like a new one. It is kept inside – biggest issue is space – sorry to be off topic – in my opinion, a nice Winchester lever makes a lot more sense to collect.
There you go again Burt with a teaser on the 86 with a matte barrel and Berringer sight!
Tom – just like to torment you a little. I first saw that 86 at a gun show in Billings, Montana in the mid 80’s – it was not for sale but I told the owner if he would ever part with it I would like a shot. He called me about 3 years later and said he was putting together a deal on a Sharps with Montana history and needed money to make it work – I have had it ever since.
HaHaHa Burt, One of the most beautiful 86’s out there. I hope a mate to it is found someday. Maybe I’ll get lucky and wind up with it. Just do me a favor and flash a picture of it once in awhile so I don’t forget what it looks like! lol

Would love to find one of the other two – 3 guns configured exactly the same all shipped the same day to the same order number – all 3 R&R’d two different times on the same dates.

Burt one has to wonder who and why they were ordered and what they purpose of the r&r’s were for. Would have loved to be a fly on the wall for that! And just an FYI I love the green. Although I am particularly attracted to R models and 820’s.

Haven’t ventured into 53’s, 65’s or matrimony and my tractor is orange but this has been a very entertaining thread! Of all the “cousin” guns I like the 53 best, but the 65’s had some interesting chamberings.

Too bad they didn’t chamber the M65 in .44-40.

No 38WCF either, but I’ve always liked the 32-20 and have a fair bit of curiosity about the 25-20 and the 218 Bee.
