Yeah, it's an Investarms, the same company that makes Lyman and Cabelas. Depending on the details, lots of folks will like it because it's a 58 caliber, and in all likelihood a 15/16" barrel. As far as I know it's been quite a while since Investarms made a 58 caliber, and those from many other companies have 1" barrels. If in fact yours has a 15/16" barrel it will be lighter and most, which translates into a tradeoff between lighter weight for comfortable carry, but the potential for more recoil.

Photos and some description of it's condition would help folks provide a lot more detail. And in fact, I'm speculating till I see the photos.

Thanks for the info and i will try to get some pictures posted on here. It is in very good condition but I dont know much about them. It has a brass flip out compartment on the right side of the stock where an extra nipple and various parts are stored. It was acquired from a freind that needed the money and i was kinda wondering what the value would be on somethin like this.

They are around $450.00 New, on down depending on the condition and the area of the country you sell it! Being a .58 might plus!

Does it have a chrome bore and a rubber recoil pad?
