Welcome from Eastern Idaho!
That was a Dougl barrelAmazing! BTW, what barrel do I have on my .45 SMR? I saw the Dixie mark inside the lock, but don't recall any marks on the barrel. (Haven't taken it apart in some time!) I send my best regards and was glad to see your post! The rifle is very authentic; I am pleased to read you are still hummin' along! Have a Great Fall, Mr. Garner!
That was a while back. I am 79 nowWelcome from Colorado. I met you at a bison hunt near Fort Wallace, Kansas many years ago. Freddie Harrison and an NMLRA rep from Europe - Berger (?) was there too. Glad you are on board here.
Thanks! I'm now just turned 76, so you weren't that much older than me at the time. It's amazing to look back and see how relatively inexpensive custom-mades were at the time. I have a pal who has a Beautiful F&I period Pa. rifle that cost $500 back in the day. He waited a year for it, but now you'd pay over two grand for the same thing custom. It's fun to look up the "today's money" chart and see what we were buying back then! I confess to giving your rifle away at one time to a friend who gave it back to me! And I'm so glad! I'm getting more and more "muzzleloaded" as I get older although always had the interest from the start. Have a Great Fall! -Art.That was a Dougl barrel
Yep, that's what I paid!I know. When I first started building my first gun I sold was $275.00. Now I have to get 1275.00 for the poor boy rifles plus the shipping which is terrible I am now 79 and takes be twice as long to build one
