Re: Here is what I have been up to.
VERY nice! Post-1900 .38-56s are difficult to find, especially one made two yrs before the caliber was dropped. I have a LTWTTD in that caliber with 1/2 Oct bbl. Any early 1886 with a nice bore is a great find, too, especially in .45-90. I turned one down last year because it had wrench marks marring an otherwise excellent condition barrel. The bore was MINT and the price was $2500. I could not abide the marks.

Wow! What I'd give to be able to pickup a nice '86 in 45-90. You're a lucky man, Charlie Brown.

Re: Here is what I have been up to.
Maaaaaaaaannnnnnn! I'm slobbering too. NOTHING moves me like an '86 or a SA Colt. I see the little tie-downs are still on the guns. You sure were excited to get those pics taken Don't blame you a bit.

I'll go ahead and order a replacement keyborad - just send me the check. Under the 'memo' part, just write 'drool damage'...
