Until 10 months ago, I had a few pistols for plnking, a Rem 870 12 gauge pump, a 760 30-06, a 16 gauge Hunter special I knew nothing about and a Win 1200. Since someone called me and asked me if I was interested in buying a 20 LC Smith that was made in 1925, and finding this site in researching it. I now own an 1890 Lefever 10 gauge, a 16 gauge Ithaca, a 12 gauge Meriden, a Win 1903 from 1919, a Marlin 1893 30-30 takedown with lots of case color(I had never even heard of those words before in 49 years)and a few more older guns. I blame all of you on this site for my new addiction. Athough I do not remember having so much fun in lookoing at, purchasing, and then finally using these fine old guns. All this to say I like anything that is older, taken good care of, and in nice enough shape to use her for what she was made for. And then pass her to someone that will care for it as well as I would.
