Bluing looks purty dang good, just some muzzle wear, and little bit of rust here and there. I'm gonna give a good clean up in a few days, and yeah i talked with my buddy about it, and he told me to go ahead and jump on it so i did...

Its a real cool rifle but best suited for reloads

Did you buy it?


I found a place online that has about 40 boxes of Winchester 200Grain PowerPoints, but at $62 a box, i think i will just grab some of the Buffalobore. There is one place in Mobile that just might have some, I'll call them tomorrow...

Be careful using just any .38-55 in it. Normal .38-55 brass is longer and could potentially cause a pressure spike. As far as I know, BB is the only one that states their .38-55 can be used.

Its a neat cartridge to get started with a single stage reloading setup

More interesting to me than a 30/30. Good price James. I would load for it.

Certainly more collectable than a 30-30.

Sounds like you need to part ways with it smile

I had a Winchester chambered for that round. I regret I sold it.

Sig Sauer, to hell and back reliable.

Whatever suits you just tickles me plum to death.

Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?
