Steve, the problem is that, in this case, I'm looking for an "inexpensive" noncollectable that is worthy of being relined and championed in NRA lever action silhouette. Decidedly the low end of the antique rifle category and going to Tulsa/Vegas or even Rock Island adds enough additional expense that it sort of crushes the whole objective here - which is a cheap restorable shooter.

But I may have to make one of these places one day. I could see going to RI just to ogle the steel and walnut. Something that can't be done at a normal gunshow any more w/o causing serious eye damage, (though no threat to one's wallet).
