Re: Help on a Whitneyville-Kennedy
Here are a few pics. little pitting on the loading gate and on the end of the magazine tube. sliver of wood missing from the forearm.Rest of the gun looks very good. He has decided to to sell it for $2400. Does this sound reasonable? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/TX50Cal/Whitneyville-Kenned...

Re: Walk About Levergun?
I would have to say that if I were just walking around loafing through the woods it would have to be my Marlin 1894CL in 32-20. Easy to carry, and can be loaded potent enough for anything I may run across in my area or used to shoot small game if needed.
