| 2022-02-17 |
| [Guns International] Only 1000 made. All original and complete with all the original model features and no later parts changes. Excellent with approximately 90% of the blue and much of the case colors. Stock with the original finish with normal wear and dings. Old weathered minor hairline on right side of butt. Perfect markings and excellent oval "ESA/1877" Erskin Allin cartouche. Perfect working order and excellent bore. Hard to find model particularly with all the original parts. ju Link to Condon's shop in scenic Middleburg, VA. Excellent place for a Spring Saturday outing. Call before attending. If the Burg's cafe's are too crowded, venture on down to Upperville, just a few miles further West and visit the Hunter's Head. |

| #6 I loke the Nemo .300 Win Mag AR, but it's not practical for me. I'll stick with .223, 6.8 SPC and .308 semis. |

| #3 .45-70 was one of the first crossover cartridges, black powder to smokeless. As a smokeless cartridge, it can be quite powerful. It was no slouch as a black powder cartridge either. Marlin lever action 335 guide gun in modern .45-70. Pretty much all you should need for grizzley. |

| #1 Been looking for a nice .50-120 buffalo rifle for my cowboy shooting arsenal. Every now and then CDNN has a Sunday auction that has some of that sort of stuff. Usually, it's too nice to use though. |
