An elderly neighbor, 87 years old, ask me yesterday if I would be interested in buying his guns. I bought his 336 that had only been shot 5 times. He bought it in the late 50's. Bought his Remington Scoremaster 22. Bought a 16 ga. H&R single shot and a 25-10 rim fire Remington rolling block that is at least 100 years old. All look like they had been bought and set in the cabinet. Someone was smiling on me today. lol He had a Smith 32 revolver. Hammerless and a squeeze handle ? Never seen one before. It was like new also. Might get it tomorrow. He wanted to call his son to see if he wanted it.

Assuming you paid him a fair price, congratulations, it was a win/win.

Opportunity and available cash coincide that doesn't always happen! Congrats

Sounds like he may of had a "lemon squeezer". Pretty neat guns.

Don't see those very often, only ones I've seen were nickel.
Congrats on the 336; looks and handles like a levergun, shoots like a bolt gun. What cartridge is it chambered for?

TX it is 30 30 and with a Elpaso 6X Weaver ! I got the box of Winchester Silver tips he bought with the gun - 5.

Wow, saw an old Weaver 6X scope on a rifle awhile back and was sorely tempted to buy a rifle I didn't really want to get the scope, lol. Congrats again!
