Or perhaps a .22 Gallery Practice rifle? Then there is the whole 1892 and 1896 arena. Short and long-stocked carbines, a "school gun"? Lions & tigers & bears, oh my!!

Also, no armament? And - what's that hanging beneath the fuselage?

My "school gun" - which I believe to be authentic - has the same small [JFC} cartouche as is shown in the first photo in this thread. I have seen others with normal [JSA/date] stamps. As to overstamps, my 1892/96 rifle has [BA-WJ] over an illegible JSA cartouche.

Others might. I am fortunate to have a GOOD 'congress-critter', the Hon. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA1). My wife baby-sat for him when he was a kid - old family acquaintances. Comes from a family of rice farmers, honest, pro-gun, anti-Biden - what's not to like?

Thanks a lot for sharing, Chuck. I'm sure we can all remember when shops like that were all over, and the darker and mustier the better! Times have surely changed. There was always an air of mystery about what might be in the corner, or in the back room . . .

1545 is not an 1898 (s/n 279xxx) - can't see some of the higher lot numbers?

126471 could be real. (126323, 126370, 126417, 126775 supposedly are)

Thank you, Whig! I'm not saying you have to LIKE the guy, just that at this critical point in time, we NEED him. Someone has to shovel out the stable, and there is NO ONE else who stands even a whisker of a chance against the stacked deck which is being shored up even as we speak. It has been said t...

Agreed, but what if you ran into something solid? Crushed like a bug!! That meme puts a whole new spin on the old (and sick) joke about the price of bicycle seats . . .

Waterman - WHO then do you propose as an ELECTABLE alternate to Biden (unless you are saying you're just going to vote blue, or not vote because you don't like Trump, and let the country go down the toilet like Germany)? While dire, I don't think things are quite as bad as you paint. Russia is not h...

The basket is OK, it's the fully-inflated rear tire (300psi?) that does it for me. :lol: :lol: As to the political comment - I don't $%$#^&* care it I offend anyone or not. Being offended is all the rage these days, anyhow, and I cannot sufficiently express my disgust for what has happenned to u...
