That is so interesting and cool. Thank you for sharing.

Looks good. I'm up to three now. My original grandfather gun that i de sporterized, my 1899 carbine with less than original barrel and a pristine nearly unused 1898 rifle. Keep em alive is my motto. Everyone isn't a pristine collector gun or teddy Roosevelt gun. Good find.
