I think I should disclose that 67galaxie found and arranged the purchase of the gun
O.M
Mr. Moses, there was certainly nothing improper about my friend finding and making a deal on the Wilkes-Barre I just bought. The seller asked for interest in his gun, my friend inquired and was quoted a price. He knew of my interest and shared the information the seller had given him, I paid the purchase price and I took possession of the gun and filled out the form the store required even though the gun was pre-1898 and paid the fee for this.
I'm unsure of what point you are making in the above posts, but if you are implying something improper, I resent it...Geo
