Penn:
You might review the rules for this forum.
Sales require a price, etc. This ain't ebay.
Nice shootin' iron, though!

Let me add, Where is the Photo?
Man does not live on text alone.
I'll try to get a photograph soon, the rifle is not in nyc, but at my shack at the beach, could be a week. I don't know it's worth, so did not post a price. I would prefer a trade for a .40 cal pistol.

Your antique is going to be worth more than any .40 cal pistol I know of...

Any interstate gun swapping, even face to face, is going to face some serious legal hurdles.
In addition to the relevant Federal laws, NY is one of the more restrictive states when it comes to firearms and Gov. Spitzer has been pretty zealous in persecuting firearms offenders.
I would caution all involved to check on the legality prior to initiating any such action.
Just my .02, YMMV.

LOL, I'll be in NYC in a few months.... or you are more than welcome to come and visit Phoenix AZ! We have a nice desert to shoot in and we're very pro-gun out here in the wild wild west.;)
TS, Will you be in the city? If so, we have to hook up...as to the other matter bring a bag.

Beautiful piece.
I like the presentation as well.

Thank you for the photos, very beautiful rifle.
The rifle descibed in this thread was stolen last night when my restaurant was robbed. If anyone see a rifle like this offered on the web for sale please contact me.
That's awful Penn. It may not help much, but I'll keep an eye out on forums that have trading/sales of antique firearms for it. Pawn shops nearby are a good place to start hunting. Plus they have to show ID so it shouldn't be too hard to track 'em down.

I wish the best of luck to you Penn.
That was certainly a beautiful rifle you had.
