Old Maynard/New owner

[kh54]

I saw a likely unissued Maynard at the gun show today. Bluing and case coloring appear 95 percent-plus. Small crack in the stock about five inches long but doesn’t go through - eminently repairable. I took it home for under $2K. (Boy I hope I didn’t pay too much.) Now I need to find brass. My pics are under bad lighting and don’t do this gun justice. Maybe I can get better pics tomorrow.

I saw in an older thread someone used a Smith carbine bullet (maybe Eras Gone?) in their Maynard. Any reason not to?

Now THAT'S a dandy!! $2K is right in line for a good condition Maynard's, so you done just fine. Your crack don't look to bad, easily repairable with some adheasive and clamping.

Maynard's patent breech-loading cavalry carbines are a hoot and then some. Confederates loved them and considered them a highly accurate, dependable arm.

Here’s mine:

S&S firearms can hook you up with Maynard cases, Maynard bullets, and a cartridge loading gadget.

Happy shooting!!

Thanks for posting. Seems to be a one of a kind gun. Very neat!
