Cpt Dan Blodgett, SASS #75655 Posted August 1, 2024 Posted August 1, 2024 Much like the Mona Lisa, another work of art I would love but can ill afford. BTT
Rooster Ron Wayne Posted August 13, 2024 Posted August 13, 2024 OK. Maybe a stupid question. But after buying the rifle and sending it in to Turnbull for a full treatment and waiting 18 months to get it back . Why sell it ? Please help me understand that ? Rooster
Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted December 10, 2024 Posted December 10, 2024 If only I was younger, had better shoulders, had some disposable cash, and shot black powder. Well, I guess i was really never in contention. Beautiful rifle.
