+1 Kutter and there is a good YouTube video that explains much of what you just commented on.

When you put 'Lawrence Jennings' into the YouTube search, there are some, uh, interesting videos before you scroll down to these!

The videos makes it seem to be a consequential relic.
I'm glad I asked the question, even if some were less enthusiastic.

I think it might be pretty interesting to convert it back to the self contained bullet/powder type rifle. Would take a talented hobbyist, or gunsmith, but would be pretty nifty!

Touchy~touchy~touchy~~~

Everybody agrees, it is a relic, rusty one at that:>)
Are your shotgun barrels equally rusty?

You're a real sweetheart Mikey

Showing your character again, Stevey?

On the bottle early on a Sunday night? You dropped into this thread with sarcasm and poor taste.

If this is trolling, what would you say it is when you post pretty pictures of your 'classes'.

Do you tell your students that if they went to the ACGG website and looked for members in their area, that many of the members will willingly give of their time. Members wanting to pass the knowledge on and bring new people into a waning trade.

Instead of collecting a few dollars and bragging about it on the web?

YMMV.

Nah, I think this one is ready for observation and interesting discussion. Thread led to learning some interesting history about lever guns and a manufacturer I had never read about.

Someday I'll put in on Gunbroker. If I don't, it will end up sitting in a corner. Even if it is only valued the same as a rusty breechblock, someone will likely enjoy owning it.

Like most gun guys, I too have some "project" and "relic" guns sitting around my gun room. Some are obviously not worth restoring, or even getting running, as they are too common. Others are simply neat "art" as they have good stories. One old 1881 Marlin lever action was found near Wounded Knee. Another old gun was dug up by a local farmer plowing his field, and it bent the barrel 90 degrees. But they are fun to hang on the walls of my gun room. I've been offered pretty good money for the 4 I have, but they're fun to look at and talk about, so they're still here.

Thanks Mike for posting the video links. You have an interesting action there. I agree with your last posting.
One thing that has always fascinated me is how were these companies back in the early 19th century and before, were able to manufacture such fine examples of craftsmanship. Just being able to study this often is worth keeping it around.
I will look forward to your updates, if you will please, as this project develops, whether that be a restore, sale on GB or just standing in the corner helping to support the wall.

LRF,
It has taken awhile. Obviously not a priority. wink
Listed on GB: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/743190888

If someone from this site ends up bidding/buying this relic, let me know and I will send Dave his vig.
