This would make a nice deer rifle for me.

I may have to cash in some deposit bottles or something.

I've always wanted a tight 577 Snider... almost custom built one a few years ago...

Dang I don't have enough bottles saved up to buy this one...

[cas]

Oh, there's a minor crack in the wrist, I'm out.

[Encore64]

Definitely my kind of gun...

The real No 1 prototype rifle

Ruger's version turned out pretty good- ejector, tang safety, internal hammer, improved lever latch. All it lacks is easy takedown, but money can fix that.

These Alexander Henry rifles are very cool, yes it is a shame the wrist is cracked...

[squawberryman]

Is the cracked wrist an omen? If someone buys it let me know how it shoots. That's slang for ain't no way I would

Some Devcon epoxy and some finishing nails, she be good as new.

my local guy would thread brass or steel rods, epoxy the crack as best he could, then drill & epoxy, & screw the threaded rods in, then dress off the rod flush with the stock... seemed to work quite well... he did that to several old double, hammer shotguns we made coach guns out of for CASS... can't think of one failing afterwards...

577 is a low pressure round ( I always wanted to make something of medium pressure out of it, with a stronger than the standard Snider action... think I still have a few new cases, & a set of loading dies... )

now if MRS would get going on winning the lottery, maybe she would buy me that one

I have a Savage1899 that's being held together with several different vintages of epoxy. And a Lithgow Enfield stock that that's mostly that's held together with Gorilla glue and wishful thinking, very little left actual qualifies as wood anymore. lol

After dropping $10k on that one, I wouldn't have any money left over for Gorilla glue. But plenty of wishful thinking!
