I had to ask because the circumstances are... well... bizzare.

I was at the Hammond Cabelas today getting an appraisal on another gun when I saw a 9410
in worse shape than mine listed for $1100 and this TD in the cabinet for $850.

Anyway, the 9410 was always a "reloading project" gun for me more than a shooter, and a TD 45-70
is one of the last guns on my "must have" list.

SO I made a deal before the TD went away.

But what does Cabelas know that I don't about the value of a 9410?
I bought this one LN w/o box for $450 IIRC... :?:

I'd say it's not what they don't know about the 9410, I'd say it's what they don't know about the '86.

I would call that "highway robbery" on your part. There are probably 10 people in the world who like the 9410 as opposed to 50 million who want the '86.-------Sixgun
