	Would make an attractive wall-hanger, but for a gun that's been restored/refinished, in just about the most undesirable chambering I can imagine, it does not sound like a bargain to me. Can of course be relined, rebarreled, etc., but that's adding many hundreds of $ to the ticket.

	According to Cartridges of the world, the 46 rimfire used a bullet .459 in diameter. Having been refinished it probably has little collector value so I'd be tempted to convert it to centerfire and rechamber for the 45-70. I don't think either would be a big deal. Of course, that is assuming the bore is decent. I think the 46 extra long used about a 300 grain bullet. Would make a slick deer rifle. The asking price might be a little on the high side, but not out of reason. George Salmon, Idaho

	Barrel looks to be re-finished..I'll bet that "F" is really an "E"...for .46 extra-long rimfire ctg.
