You guys are sure lucky to be able to find those around you. What a beauty! We don't see ANY of them up here. The closest I saw was a Krag that was possibly an NRA but had no papers, so it sold as a shooter. I still didn't get that one...
Well I've found rifles in the most unlikely places like the cased Gibbs 1903 pictured below which came from....are you ready.....Victoria, BC.
