very nice examples of these rifles , you [like me] obviously have interest across the board of american long guns , i did choose a few years ago to divest my US collection in favor of my brit 303s but ive never lost my appreciation , those are fine examples , my humble opinion is you should set your sights for future purchase on an M1 carbine , an M1903A3 , and an M1917 , to round out the indian wars through WWII , |

Collecting indian wars alone will drive you nuts. Starting with the Allen conversions you also have rifles, carbines, short rifles, cadet rifles, officers rifles, marksman rifles, forager shotgun, 4 calibers (not including different powder charges and bullet weights) multiple sights, lock types, fixed and removable bayonets and the ever present after market put together guns by companies like Bannerman. |
