I saw at the gunshow a refinished panel action 1878.panel was rubber.
It had a mint bore,ebony tip,totally hotblued,checkering recut,shotgun monogram rubber plate,long range tang sight,not sure if repro.
Considering they only made 260 of these,what are the chances this could be a mock up or paneled military action?
It has no engraving,no rectangle around "old reliable",seemed kinda light for a full round bbl,but no holes for a rear sight were present.front blade.
The rifling did look different than my military rifle.
Had no cap on the PG,nor a snobble,and I dont remember seeing an escutcheon key on the forend.
The mans price was 4500.
Shall I pursue it? or trade some eyeteeth?
Thanks!
