I live in MD and I am not excited. The first time they ran a gun auction that I knew about, a few years ago, the realized prices would have indicated shill bidding. Let us know how any of you did at the auction.

Thanks Jent, was there any issues with the D hammer gun ?
Most of the prices didn't look to bad on the hammer guns if the the bores where in good condition.

I guess that kinda tells us what lifters are bringing. I personally think lifters are very neat and very underpriced. Thank you for posting that info. Dave

I bought 108. I'll have $750.00 in it when the dust settles I believe. I guess it all depends on the bores. As if I need another gun itch to scratch but some of these early guns are so gorgeous it makes me wonder why I passed them all these years. Jerry

Nope, it's being shipped. I may have to head your direction in a week however as I bought a stock duplicating machine, after 35 years of filing blanks down with a horse hoof file and a draw knife I've purchased a duplicator. Guaranteed down to .003 tolerance, I'll tape the inletting as I still want to an absolutely perfect fit on these old doubles. Jerry

Ed, I bought a Radarcarve. About $1200.00. Manual duplicating machine. I used one and cut a Smith stock so closely that the inletting required very little work and the fit was as if the wood had grown around the metal. The accuracy is all derived from the guide pins and the cutter if the machine is made correctly. The machine I used was at a wood workers show, had been used extensively for other matters, it had a lot of hours. It was set up for show use so I dragged an American walnut blank there and an L.C. Smith field 20ga stock, SST, AE that was broken in half with much of it missing. I glued the stock and glassed in the missing areas to make it whole before going to the duplicator. The inletted area was perfectly intact however. I taped the inside of the inletting to reduce the amount taken out, and in 1/2 hour, the stock was off the duplicator. By NO MEANS is this a drop in or anything close. It still required meticulous hand fitting to acquire a factory fit but...it reduced my time extensively, especially the outside shaping which I've always done with files. I've posted some photos of the Eagle grade L.C. Smith I'm in the middle of and you can see the advantages of a duplicator quite easily! This Eagle grade was done all by hand from a blank. A box lock gun should be easier yet for the duplicator. Feel free to call anytime to chat. Jerry
