But more importantly, I get to break out my Gramps old 1894. 26" + iron sights. Much like the ol' Model 12 that slays island deer, this gun has killed more chit than small pox. 3 generations worth back to the late 30's. My dad took his first deer & elk with it, I took my first deer & elk with it. All those CO Mulies & Elk and MI WT's. Bart Starr dropped it on some rocks and gashed the stock (yes, that Bart Starr). So some history.

Old, cranky and VERY loose. Almost a mantle gun now, but still has a hunt or two left.


Stories like this are appreciated, get her back out and let her bark! Mantle biz, that's just silly talk.
