Maaan, pretty soon that's the only fine gun with hand engraving I'm going to be able to afford. Let's not knock our hard times wonder!  Gee, I wanted that plated 12br CZ Ringneck? with long barrels/cts as my luvly fower, but that mint Ithaca 51 was only $400 and hobos can't be choosers. I just didn't have enough $ to buy that fine SxS.

So here is the latest. The gunsmith was not able to get to it this week but the seller is willing to 1) let me buy it and shoot it this weekend and 2) still have a gunsmith look it over with the option to return if it malfunctions or the gunsmith sees issues. I think I am going to go ahead and get it and will post pictures for all of you to look at.

"Arizaga, Arizabalaga, sounds the same to someone from Topeka..." My goodness. Raining in the desert so I thought I'd check some previously ignored threads. We mentally deficients of the 'fly-over' Great American Desert are so appreciative when our betters deem us worthy to be educated. How DID Eisenhower manage to win WWII anyway? And the Menningers move Psychiatry from 'The Snake Pit' to science? (possibly Karl 'got smart' only when teaching at Harvard.) If anyone is interested, here are a few more 'meaningful' Kansans http://ks.nea.org/readacross/RAA06-famouskansans.html Sorry to highjack your thread Brent, but the randomly dropped insults sure get old.

No worries - This is my first post on this page and it has been rather interesting to see what my simple question has drummed up. All-in-all, I am rather happy to have joined the group. I am no stranger to the quick quips though - seems vintage watch collectors are of the same ilk.

HI Brent, well if the seller is willing to let you fire it and inspect it. I think you'll do just GREAT!! Go for it. Glad you like the forum. I sure do, you always learn something on it.
Lets hear from you soon!!!
Good Luck and God Bless!

Buffalo Bill Cody, 1846-1917 Born in Scott County, Iowa, in 1846, Cody grew up on the prairie. When his father died in 1857, his mother moved to Kansas, where Cody worked for a wagon-freight company as a mounted messenger and wrangler. I guess you don't have to be born in Kansas to be a Kansan.

Let's not be too hasty with our criticisms of the posters on this thread. Even the most abraisive and impolite of them contributed to what our friend Brentflyfish wanted to know about his gun. Even if their tone was unacceptable to some of us, the intent was to help him out...I think.

Drew, I think it's pretty safe to say that Kansas is the only state in the union that can claim 3 world record holders in the mile/1500 meters. All native Kansans, all ran for KU: Glenn Cunningham, Wes Santee, Jim Ryun.
