What are you looking for in trades?

Interesting, rare Ruger single actions. New or old.

While I love octagon barrels on an older rifle, especially a lever...the rectangular lever on this one makes it look like it was made by a machine, rather than handmade. A curved lever would add to the aesthetics of this rifle. Good luck on your sale. You should get a nice price for that one.

These are pretty tough to find.

Marlin 1897s had square levers. Its the classic Marlin look.

Definitely nice rifles …What are the other 3 "unplugged" holes in the left side of the receiver used for? I would guess some type of rear sight? It looks like one hole is threaded and might be missing the blank screw?
Honestly just curious…My knowledge of these beauties is somewhat lacking…

Yes,what about the holes?

 

[sixmranch]

Two are normal, the other has a broken screw, that's why I pulled the ad.
