Larry Orr was at Missula Mt. gun show on his way to the  Reno show about a month ago and  he called me on his cell phone and told me what he found and the $$ I told him to buy it. I wish it had more case color but beggers cant be chosey. The feller that sold it found a better one but this one was in his collection for 25 years. The gun was built in 1895 I believe he said

I believe Leroy Mertz in Fergus Falls still has one for sale its nice but its been drilled for blocks and he still wants full price

This gun has a sleeved barrel... Yea I know, but I did not pay no where near full price and I can live with a sleave but I cant live with extra holes or cracked stocks

This gun will due for now till a minty 55 comes along

BTW this gun really stacks em' in there its a pleasure to shoot

Rafter-7 made a comment    "This gun has a sleeved barrel... Yea I know, but I did not pay no where near full price and I can live with a sleeve but I cant live with extra holes or cracked stocks"    
that reminded me of a ol boy in northern Ohio who has since passed on.
He was a collector of single shot rifles and a gunsmith. A regular at the Ohio Gun Collectors Shows.    

I was at his home just weeks before his passing. In one room alone there were in excess of 300 single shot rifles. Many of them were Stevens, Ballard's, Winchesters.  Many had brass barrels or liners in them. I asked him about this as some of the brass barrels were made by him. He stated that often the shooters of that time would reline a brand new rifle in the belief that a relined barrel shot better. The brass barrels gave the shooter more weight out where they needed it.    
I wish I could go back to that day as he gave me the pick of the room but at that time I was deeply into muzzle-loading and thought little of single-shot rifles. Oh my! 
Any thoughts on relined barrels shooting better? Are there any who remembers such activities? He had lots of excellent targets with the data written on them to prove his point.  After his passing none of his rifles or machinery came up for sale. It was ALL willed to his tenant farmer lithely "lock, stock and barrel"    4227
