Decades ago, The Gun Digest had an article on Bannerman's, the New York outfit that bought and sold surplus and modified weapons and accessories of all kinds..
I had forgotten all about it until a friend pointed out to me that a crumbling stone structure in the Hudson in the background of a New York Central poster advertising the passenger trains on their Water Level Route was the remains of Bannerman's Castle.
Perhaps some here remember mixed-bag assemblies built around Krag and US Model 1917 actions. There was much, much more.
Enjoy this:
