	Westerner saw this at the Post Falls gun show last Sunday and i bought it. (He figures it will be his someday but ....) #4 barrel with a very good bore. 32-40. Some initials on the ebony forearm tip an under the forend. No serial number except under the butt plate where the plate and wood numbers match. The target was shot with some bullets that I had that tipped some. Iron sight (not the one pictured and a post front sight. 200 yds. Jack

	Consensus is that the lever is from MVA. Repairable chip in the back of the forend. It was missing the grip cap. I borrowed one from another rifle. I shot the group with a Ron Heilman soule sight.

	The picture does not do justice to the rifle. A diamond in the rough.

	Really nice 1885 Jack! A little black epoxy smeared over those initials and sanded smooth makes them disappear easily.

	I wanted to document those initials in case someone knew who they belonged to. I had to keep a rag handy at the range to wipe the drool off it. Jack

	Nice find, Jack. Is it a coil or flat spring? Also, how long is the barrel and what does it weight?

	Just watching Blazing Saddles and noticed that Mongo and Dave Shelton looked alike.

	Yesterday was upack and clean day, although I did take the rifle apart. Today is measure the bore and document the rifle. I will let you know Frank. All I can tell you now is with that barrel it won’t be my offhand gun. I might be a good offhand rifle for Mongo though.
