Testing the “waters”::::::::

In search of a good usable 1885 or 1886 in a “shooter grade”. What do you have?

 Looking for something solid enough to safely shoot the modern smokeless ammo.  

Could be a project/fixer upper. (Rusty guns or pea shooters)

Might settle for a good usable 1885 or 1886 barrel.

May even spring for the right rifle if a clean collectible were available.  

Took 12 boxes of modern PMC smokeless ammo in a trade.  Kinda got the “Cart” in front of the “Horse”.  

What’s hiding in the back of your safe?  Safe Queens may apply, 

An old 1895 Marlin might also work—prefer the Winchester route.  

Thanks, Paul
