A buddy of mine bought it ten or fifteen years ago from Dixie Gunworks. He still lives in our old home town of Healdsburg, about sixty miles north of San Francisco. Forty years ago, when we were kids, it was rural, and you could just go down to the river and shoot on a sandbar…today it’s a bed and breakfast suburb of the Bay Area, and any such activity would result in your swift arrest. To shoot, he has to make a forty mile trip to the coast, to the Coast Guard range. Needless to say, he hardly makes it out there anymore, and when he does he wants to spend more time shooting, than loading, so black powder guns get left at home, and he mostly grabs a .22. He had this, unfired, new old stock, in the back of his safe, so he’s letting it go for what he paid for it back then. Don’t worry, he knows what it’s worth, but we went trough grades 6 through 12 together, and we’re still friends now. That, and he knows I’ll shoot it. Also I think he has serious ‘’wood’’ going for some WWII Colt, so….
