My luck was holding good today.

I called about a 45 colt cowboy yesterday. His phone said he had no service where he lives (common here) and the easiest way to get hold of him was Email.
I don't do email, but I left my number. I was in prudhoe this morning and had phone service for only about an hour and a half, and get a call from him. I tell him I would be back in town in the morning, but he was flying out for 6 days, and would knock a bunch off if we could get together today (impossible) so I called my wife at work and he went to where she worked GGGGGREAT considering she had mentioned NO MORE GUNS THIS MONTH just last week. lol

I left the slope before I knew if the deal had for sure gone down, and was just in limbo for 16 hours. lol

It came with some ammo I have never hears of ultramax smokeless cartridges. These are cast boolits, made in rapid city sd.

A sweet little gun, jm stamped, but does have the crossbolt safety, for a steal of a deal.

I've got two of them, and both are very accurate. In fact, I won a 100 yard match with one of mine two weeks ago! It helps to put a lever wrap on it, especially if you'll be shooting fast.

Hope this helps.

+1 on the very accurate. +1 again on the lever wrap. It's a great rifle, and I really like mine.

Snap on lever wraps for 8.00 shipped. Even to Alaska. Easy to take on and off. Go to www.whyteleatherworks.com and look under "accessories".

The lever wrap looks good, But the sights are probably the first thing that needs attention they are absolutely not made for my eyes.

I also like the snap on/off lever wraps

Here are a couple of options for the safety:

here is another option, a saddle ring replacement for the safety: http://beartoothmercantile-2.myshopify.com/collections/safety-deletes
