I love my ML guns, but I also like to see them ... all of them ... every day. Mine have never lived in a dark hole [safe] and will not. I am 92 YO and don't plan to worry about guns or any material things. I do keep one loaded gun near my bedside to protect my wife and myself. Just my 1/2...

I guess it reflects what is popular where you live. Here in Eastern Oklahoma, I have purchased three, hardly used, Investarm Hawken style [plains rifles] marked with different importers] for $200 or less. In South Texas, I bought a Lyman GPR kit for $135 [Lock disassembled]. All were found in...

Very interesting thread. I often shot the head off of a grouse at 15 feet or so [when I was much younger] in Idaho. Missed more than I hit, however. Polecat 🦨 Edit: Lyman 1858 Remington

I agree, but once in a while a Uberti built Santa Fe Hawkin or a Log Cabin shop [both Uberti] comes up in the same price range. I have a Santa Fe and a Lyman. I think the Uberti made guns are a bit more "Hawkenish." Dale

You are no fool. I have given away nine ML guns recently, some worth $550 to $750. Enjoy making people happy. That's far more enjoyable than $$$$ 🦨 Polecat

Old time wooden boat builders had an easy chair located near the boat. They spent more time there than building. I would call that the planning chair. BTW; i have built a few boats and several ML guns. Try it, you'll like it. Dale

If you do, run baby run; you stole it!

Sounds as if you have shooting friends, Give the gun to one you think might get the job done. Agree that he can either then buy the gun for one half of value or sell it back to you for that same price. No more frustration and that is worth the loss. Polecat

Have built three GPRs, still have the last one. It is unfired, browned. finished nicely. [my opinion]. Loved 'em all, Buy it!

Took another look at a kit I need to build but procrastination took over. BTW, I have a fair workshop, but usually do kits on my lap ... for 60years or so, just like doing it that way. Dale

I've been getting loose screws since about 60 ... oh, you mean grains! :rolleyes:
