 Frig it I just slapped a $5,000 bid on it and he took it like instantly. He asked if my middle name was sucker.  Monies sitting in the bank nobody to leave it to and I always wanted one of these Revolutionary weapons all my life. Only 100,000 came to America pre and imported during the Revolution from the French so their really ain't a whole lot out their? Next I am looking at a Brit. Brown Bess in excellent shape for $4,000 asking price. Next stop my buddy 500grains to file bankruptcy if I keep going.

That's really interesting. Not as nice as that Kentucky rifle, but if it is what pops your cork and makes you happy, then why not?
Kind of like when I swapped my Franchi SPAS 12 for a Springfield 1911A1 Loaded during the ban. The SPAS was selling everywhere for $1,000+ and the Springfield MSRP was $700. I felt like I got the better end of the deal, though and the other guy felt like he screwed me over, so we were both happy. I still think I got the better deal.

I like military arms especially ones that have HISTORY. If THAT is the only, or the sweetest deal in town...then you know what you must do. Fuck it!

 Is it the best deal in town  ? Hell I don't know like my X used car salesman best bud calls me a dumb ass "Lay Down." What the hell is that Bill? "Give me $10,000 for this fine used vehicle." Oh O.K. thank you so much sir. Giving some of my monies to my grand niece rest to the God blessed NRA. But I really want to buy a Brit Brown Bess if yall spot one. Thank you so much in advance. |

Made contact with the seller for final payment and he will ship as soon as transaction is complete. My neighbor Marine Lee who Pogo met down the road here fixes and restores these old flints and percussions. One of my 18th century trader guns was broken and be dammed he had a box of original parts and fixed and shot it for me. Will check with him and if he gives the green light we will bust some rounds through it. Ah hell if it blows up? Booze and broads.
