Default 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...

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. See what you've done to me.

I suspect there's a shooting session in its future. 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.atriot. Or is it a HAPPY BIRTHDAY present to yourself.
