    Omega III Rifle by Homer Koon - what's it worth

    Maveric, I think it is the gunsmiths initials. Panhead, don't know exactly how many left hands were made right now. My guess is more than the 3 I just read a minute ago. The Japeto guy who sold the rifle to you obviously didn't know squat about much. My father never worked in the space...

    Omega III Rifle by Homer Koon - what's it worth

    Greetings all, I spoke with Alan (GSSP) the other night and said that I would post a bit of what I know in case it helps him. I believe that he is in possession of production #5 from the description he gave me. The Omega III is a "take-down rifle". That is one of the unique features of the...

    Omega III Rifle by Homer Koon - what's it worth

    And Now, the Rest of the Story I want to start out by apologizing to the forum members who had enjoyed this thread for my part in this tone that has developed in the thread. I probably should not have called anyone out by name. I should just have referred to their posts as potentially...

    Omega III Rifle by Homer Koon - what's it worth

    Yes halogrinder, there was a post. As it was remained well less than a day, you most likely have an email copy of what it said to know that it existed. That post was either removed by the poster who doesn't appear to be a member or one of the moderators. My bet is the moderator probably...

    Omega III Rifle by Homer Koon - what's it worth

    a bit more then Ranger Hi all, I took a bit longer break than I thought I would. I’ve got to admit that I let a few folks get under my skin. I am sorry for that. I used to think that I was a bit thicker skinned. Responding to their outrageous claims took precedence over the legitimate...

    OMEGA Eagles THREE (3) Friends, I’m sorry that I’m not able to be more responsive. I spend a great deal of time out of town these days. And when I am home, I really prefer spending the time with my family. I really do hate my next post on this subject. bsflyfish, I promise to reply when I...

    Omega III Rifle by Homer Koon - what's it worth

    Sorry folks for the delay. End of year is always full. SJWRIGHT, double safety was for double insurance. It is just another step to prevent an accident. My father was also a gun safety instructor when he was in Gainesville. What was strictly voluntary back then is mandatory now days. I...

    Omega III Rifle by Homer Koon - what's it worth

    What a coincidence, I happen to be home and online. 22" and 24" were common. So, not too interesting. Thanks for the post though.

    Omega III Rifle by Homer Koon - what's it worth

    Armlaw, yes I did get your snail mail and I'm so sorry for not yet responding. I do keep it in my briefcase. I haven't had a lot of free time the past 6 months due to my working out of town. I'm only home today due to getting back really late last night so I thought I would try to catch up...

    Omega III Rifle by Homer Koon - what's it worth

    halogrinder, I'm sure it is a very nice rifle. I'm not sure why you and your friend believes the rifle has never been fired. I wish your friend luck in selling it. In my opinion, it would not be worth 55K.

    Omega III Rifle by Homer Koon - what's it worth

    Bear, Thank you for the lead. I might drive out and take a look. halogrinder, unless it really is like the one posted in the pic on Dec. 31 (gold enlay with ruby), it's not a presentation rifle and all rifles were test fired at the factory. There were three (3) presentation rifles, two of...

    Omega III Rifle by Homer Koon - what's it worth

    armlaw, you are 100% correct. The presentation was at the Rex Cauble ranch between Denton and Gainesville. I had thought Cauble actually lost his ranch much longer ago after he was convicted of drug smuggling. I used to drive past it regularly on my way to Gainesville and it went down hill a...

    Omega III Rifle by Homer Koon - what's it worth

    Thanks to everyone who has appreciated my input. It was certainly not my intention to take over the thread (I assume the original poster has sold his rifle and moved on). I'll try to put some pics together. Due to the size restrictions, I'll probably upload them to a site that I"ve seen other...

    Omega III Rifle by Homer Koon - what's it worth

    I really wasn't going to respond much more on this thread though I do get notices when someone posts (and those who send me private messages, I don't find out about those unless I log in or someone responds to this thread). This last post kinda inspired me to respond. ltriker is obviously a...

    Omega III Rifle by Homer Koon - what's it worth

    taliv, Thanks for the welcome. rangerruck, Sorry, but I don't recall that detail. They might have had an S. There is however no mistaking one of the three presentation rifles. I am attempting to upload a picture. This is the presentation rifle. I had to play around with it to get the...

    Omega III Rifle by Homer Koon - what's it worth

    I came across this post while looking for an Omega for my son. That would be Homer Koon's Grandson. Just thought I would set a few of the details straight. The Omega III was produced in Flower Mound Texas prior to Hi-Shear purchasing. The original 3 presentation rifles where given to John...
