Mine was a Broomhandle Bolo. Great condition externally, crisp markings, all matching numbers. I’ve never had a gun I wanted so badly to function correctly. I became very familiar with it’s workings and threw a few hundred dollars at it, but there was something fundamentally wrong with it that eluded me and a couple of gunsmiths.
I don’t keep guns that don’t work correctly, ‘cause it isn’t a cool gun if it can’t function reliably as a gun.
I parted it out and made twice what I paid for it. The barrel and extension alone recovered my purchase price. Curiously, the receiver was the only part that wasn’t immediately snapped up.
