John,
Not really. Since the initial investment was zero, the entire Capital Gain of $30,000 would be taxable by the federal and state governments. You'd be one nut short and still wouldn't have enough money for the Parker!

The $30K in proceeds would have to be classified as a long term capital gain, and the marginal rate is what, 20% now? I could scratch up the remaining $6K that the Feds (unfairly) take. That baby would still be mine!

Haven't seen a maintenance manual but there's a starter.

Sooo... has anybody stepped up to the plate on this gun yet, hmmm ?

Didn't think so.

If it had the original wood it would be long gone by now I'm quite sure.

I have been looking for some time for a AA grade hammer gun, that said , if I found one with the stock replaced and it was done well I would still buy it in a heart beat! But alas there comes into play the little thing that is being discussed here money, Well I guess I will not have to worry about that because I do not know of any for sale! 5 total made.
