Sorry but recent experiences with "health care professionals" come to mind.


Greater care, a good a bit of research, and a little luck. Sometimes we take more care with our possessions than our own health. Mainly because we often place to much trust in a title or a shingle that one hangs.


Frankly these and other reasons have me going with new replicas with warranties.

That long winded reply to lever guns from the 24hcf thread regarding an up-tick in lever sales is from your truly.
I've had a lever rifle for as long as I've been shooting. So, I defend 'em.

Me too, still have that first one. :lol:

They do fit the scabbard well...when riding I really appreciate the lack of forearm on my 1860 as well...
