Hello All,
I need to upgrade some equipment at the ranch so it is time to move a few rifles and help with the finances. With the exception of the Model 90 these rifles are absolutely wonderful. I hope that they find appreciative new homes. Best of luck.

My god I wish that someone along the way hadn’t thought it was a good idea to add a swivel to the 90’s buttstock… but I imagine at the time – it made complete sense!
TWO swivels make complete sense (unless you enjoy the services of a gun-bearer), & therefore I added period factory swivels to guns I once hunted with, but not sure how only one would work; maybe used a loop around brl or mag tube the way some modern muzzle-loader slings attach to guns without swivels. Anyway, the swivel eye is a trivial concern, easily patched.

I agree regarding the sling stud but it does not affect the shooting capability of the gun. I have actually used it to shoot a couple small hogs at my ranch. At 20 yards a head shot will drop them nicely! I just never had the willingness to mess with it any further. Maybe the next guy will repair it nicely.

Why not offer these rifles for sale directly on this forum instead of on Gunbroker. No sales tax and you don’t have to pay fees to Gunbroker.
It is a matter of trading the reasonable fees in exchange for reaching a possibly larger buying community.

Congratulations Michael on your sale. I thought the flat band might go a bit higher but overall I think I would be happy.

I am not complaining on the sales. I also agree that the flat band might go for a bit more. Now the busy part of getting things boxed up, depositing checks, and going to the post office.
