Buying at on-line auctions is a crap shoot at best, sometimes you get craps, like the nitro special I won that wouldn’t cock, no wonder just the pins were in it, no hammers sears or mainsprings. Luckily it was only 125.00 and a friend had all the parts. Then you hit a homerun like this Belgian Sidelock for 425.00, or this Verney Carron with ejectors for 450.00.
