Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

The gun auction in Bancroft today was a bust. Drove 2 1/2 hrs each way and got nothing. The Carcano turned out to be a nothing special carbine and sold for $275, WAY over what I might have paid.

The Colt Thunderer (labeled .41 percussion, but it is a cartridge revolver??) went for a good bit more than I was prepared to pay (but I knew that going in) and quite a bit LESS that what it would normally go for, only $875.

Some nice Schmitt Rubins went cheap. As did several Lee Enfields.

But I did meet a gentleman there who has a couple of Carcanos "the long ones" that he is selling for a friend. He's going to email me pictures. O.K., so maybe not a total bust.

Bancroft! There's a blast from the past! Worked a farm a wee bit north of Bancroft in the summer of '74. Good honest menial labour.
It must have grown quite a bit since that time, to rate a gun auction...

I'm a good 1200 miles west of that now. Longest I've driven for guns is about the same- 2- 2 1/2 hrs...

Regards,

Doc Sharptail
