Good morning Tony,      Thanks for finding us here at the ASSRA Forum and a big welcome to you.  I enjoyed meeting and talking with you at the Maryland Antique Arms Collectors recent show held at Timounium fair grounds.   It was my pleasure to have seen the wonderful Stevens/Pope rifles that you brought with you and had on display for the viewing public.

         As you get to know us better, perhaps you will take the appropriate opportunity to post a few photos of your Stevens/Pope collection as you see fit.

         I the mean time, I will continue to appreciate the time I had with you at your table in Maryland.

If you folks will indulge me I have 2 more question that I'd like forum opinion on. First, what is the thinking on how high the serial numbers that Stevens continued on with the Pope bbls. before the end? Lastly anybody have any assessment as to what kind of numbers out there on guns rebarreled as opposed to leaving the factory as Pope configured guns? Thanks in advance.
