After a few fits and starts between my Mac computer and GB causing me to switch to my Windows work station I finally got the first two rifle on Gunbroker.  These are two nice shooting rifles that have a few glitches which will keep them out of the “safe queen” category for sure. Starting at a penny and hoping they find a new, appreciative home with someone who will enjoy them.

Two nice old guns that should do great on the penny-start. 

I think the number of bids will increase should you decide to describe the bore in addition to mentioning how well they will perform on a hunt.  It’s my opinion that some potential buyers will not take the time to contact the seller and ask about the condition of the bore.  Describing the bore also prevents surprises that a winning bidder might have and might result in a repeat customer.   For example, I have a second model 1890 that looks really neat, but it has a pitted bore from end to end, and it will still make a good squirrel or rabbit gun.

Good luck on your auctions!

Michael, your ad states FFL but they all qualify for a C&R. Will you accept the C&R? Another question, if I should win one of them, would I be able to get a copy of the photos of that particular rifle? I can’t take good photos with my little point and shoot camera.

James,

I did better than try to describe the bores.  I have loaded photos of the bores for both of these rifles.  They are in great shape!

Thanks for the hint
