MK-85 Came in today
 

I am not sure why I bought this but at this point I think I am really glad... Got a great price on the auction and now that it is here I can not prove that it is not a NIB...

Nothing looks used.... the breech is spotless, even the tip of the ram rod is perfectly clean - no powdere smuge no stains... Even the box is in great shape...

Well you kind of needed another rifle. I mean I am sure your wife likes it. All kidding aside.. that looks like a dandy rifle.

Terry is at the New Dungeness Lighthouse up on the northwest coast of Washington, with her sister and friends... They are manning the lighthouse for a week...

I am hopping she will not even notice when she gets home...

When I bid on it I was thinking I would just resale it out in the Pac Northwest states and make a few dollars - now I am not sure what I am going to do with it...

Thats funny, I was watching and admiring that gun and wonder if I should give you a call on it. Good thing I didn't run up the bid on you. :D See what you've done to me.

I suspect there's a shooting session in its future. :s2: Nice score.

Just not sure yet - especially if it is a NIB - If I can prove that it isn't then I definitely would.

I got the gun for the purpose of it might have a looser bore than my current 85, it does not, so then the second driving force was to re-sale one of the 85's out here in the PacNorthwest as they a legal and sought after, and potentially valuable, ML for the 3 state area.

So right now - I do not know what I am going to do...

You could always use it in a trade for 1 of those 1-20 KNIGHTS.:patriot. Or is it a HAPPY BIRTHDAY present to yourself.:birthday:

Terry has impressed upon me... If one gun cometh one gun must goeth - helps to keep piece and harmony... Unless I can impress on her that this one those really super deals.. like the ones she shops for....

Well you kind of needed another rifle.

ORRRRRRRRRRRR, you could DURA COAT it PINK and tell her you bought it for her.:lolabove::lmao:

:happy0001:

I'm a firm believer that you can never have too many mk-85's! Looks good SL, should be a tack driver.

You could always tell her you got it as an investment....and you'll be unloading it later :wink:

Well... that is all true...

but I think...I have it all covered the Big Horn is on the way out the door...

I can't figure out why anybody would want more than one muzzleloader. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Agree, the mk is a much better gun all around than the bighorn, imo. Smart move! :happy0001:

NIB or not NIB...wouldn't matter to me....that's a nice look'in rifle.

My wife thougtht I was crazy when I bought my NIB MK-85 this winter. She just doesn't get it I guess. Actually that is okay because I don't understand more that 3 or 4 pairs of shoes in the closet!

Actually I think I will take the MK-85 to the range right now! God Bless America that I can do this freely.
