	Is your 1909 25-35 pretty much original? Tom

	Thanks Frank Tom, I ordered a Cody letter for the 25-35 which is a take down. Unfortunately that rifle left the factory originally as a 32-40 take down and returned a couple of years later most likely to have the 25-35 barrel fitted. It had Winchester scope blocks on it, the wider than 3/8” variety that I added. The bore is pitted but shows strong rifling. So far it shoots jacketed bullets well at 100 yds. I am experimenting with some GC cast bullets from Bull Shop.

	You should probably get one more. Then you would have 21 and you could change your handle from bpjack to blackjack!

	Great idea Chris. I probably wouldn’t stop at 21 though. I am being a bit more selective these days though. I am a sucker for double set triggers though.

	I might be able to get 12 decent looking rifles from this collection. Several are not photo worthy.

	I am not counting the crushed coil spring action I got for free. It possibly could be repaired but I use it for stock fitting.
