I’m looking to buy back 1876 Express Rifle SN 60953. It’s a standard round barrel Express rifle in 80% condition previously in my collection. If it comes on the market I would like to have a chance to get it back. I don’t know where it is now.

Thanks for looking!

Bill,

Is that the one I bought from you many years ago?

Rick,

You have a sharp eye. Yes, it’s the same rifle. Just hoping I’ll be able find it again someday.

For those that are wondering, Rick offered to sell it back to me but I was not able to buy it at the time. It ended up being sold by Don Grove. He never responded when I told him I was interested in acquiring it again.

Bill,

Within a week after I sold it to Don at the Denver Gun Show, he had it on his web site for $21,000. I watched it for about a week and it was gone. I’m sure he didn’t get that much for the gun, but it was gone in a very short period of time.
