Price was right on that one slowburn.

Many ML enthusiasts probably get frustrated for one reason or another, and probably most don't truly know enough about the rifles to understand value/condition, etc.

My dad found a percussion ML pistol one time at his gun club, laying on a shooting bench. There was a note under it that said "This gun is NOT lost, you can have it!!!!" It wasn't a valuable gun, but it was in decent shape and he said it shot ok. Somebody had had enough I guess. LOL
