[Loja man]

Sweet!! That’s a great deal!!

 

[Shotgunblast]

Don't forget that lottery ticket! Sweet deal.

Yeah, Wow! Never found anything that nice at a yard sale gun-wise, but found a large 19th century engraving print of Washington from about 1843 for 20 bucks or so; found same print at a high end gallery for 2 grand. I'll take that muzzle-loading set up any time, though!

 

[Coot]

You have done well!

 

[BoomStick]

Good deal on all that stuff. The unmarked conicals look like Hornady great plains.

Thank you Boom! Those must get your attention at 420 grains on your shoulder!

 

[Kansas Jake]

You got a bargain with plenty of caps to boot.

 

[appalichian hunter]

Good find there.

 

[deermanok]

Sweet deal.

Those look like Buffalo Ball-et, those are the big ones, I tried the lighter version in a 54 1-48 chrome bore and they didn't work well, the remainder got tossed in the pot eventually,
Otherwise GREAT find!, ya got $100 worth of caps alone,

 

[TDM]

What a great find! A good deal for sure!

 

[Togo]

Great find, I would have snapped those up in a heartbeat.

Ooppps! Sorry about the unmentionable picture, I removed it.

 

[BoomStick]

Necchi and nit wit spotted it better than I did. shapes are same but the lube rings on the buffalo bullets have the hatched pattern.

Holy cow. I'm a guy can't pass by a yard sale, and every one I stop at I look for firearms and sometimes even ask if they've got any "old guns" they want to sell, and never, ever came across a score like this. Best I ever did was an old Bushnell rimfire scope for $20. Nice going!!
