Well, how about that! Richard, that is quite a relic. Where exactly was that gun when in use? A lot of history there. I guess the gun quit working to the point where the locking lug became inoperative and someone fabricated the sleeve to keep the gun closed when shooting. You will get plenty of information about its value from members here. Maybe you could find a serial number stamped on the flat of the action or the side of the barrel lug and let us know what it is.

The sleeve isn't factory ? I thought i remember seening a sxs once bebore with the same kind of sleeve set up .
This has been in the barn for about 50-60 years . It was my GF great , great grand fathers . Her dad has already told me a couple storys about it . Just to hear him talk about it is great . His eyes light up to the " good ole days " . Last edited by Richard Kellogg; 05-04-2011 at 05:42 PM.. Reason: spelling |

from what you have you can make the old gun look good again...a little oil and elbow grease will change the looks of it...possible to make a shooter again...im like the others serial no should be on the barrel on the left side on the barrel lug...plus some of the stories you been told about the gun.. charlie
