Not the CB........If I had a few beers, I could maybe let the ported GS go, but it wouldn't be a bargin, just fair.

Good for you Blaine. I say if your going to own it might as well use it. I don't buy a gun to sit in a safe either.

Congratulations Blaine. You're going to be packing some heavy metal if you carry that '86 and your S&W 500. Phew! :D

1886s are a very, very good 45-70...the ELR makes it easy to carry all day and the shotgun type butt helps with recoil with my heavy handloads.....Mag tube? I only need one shot...... 8)
