Lynn,
I contained myself,didn't buy anything.That was a nice little show,nice not having to walk by a thousand junkers to find one worth looking at.The original long range,side hammer Sharps was nice,he wouldn't take my wifes little Lincoln in trade though :)A fairly priced,miniature Snyder caught my eye,I didn't pick it up for fear I wouldn't put it back down!
I scratched the MS itch a long time ago with a pre 1910 9MM,nice rifles.
I think I would want a heaver barrel for a 44-100!I talked to Mr.Bly,(the Maynard man)yesterday,he said length would not be a problem.
