[mr.deerstalker]

I got a pile of old guns left to me when my dad died in 1990. shipped them up to AK where many of them have been setting up in my attic of my hangar. I found this lost 44 Sporter, like new in box. complete package. forgot it was up there. damn im getting old.

Dang, I get excited when I find a lost pair of pliers. That would probably have made me pass out. Lol

 

[contender]

Ok, you officially have too many guns. If you forgot you had one,, either you are getting senile, or have too many.
Please send those excess guns to a warmer climate, to be cared for properly!

you note the numbers on the other two boxs?

 

[arcticruger]

Wow!

 

[contender]

Yes,, I did see the numbers. And again, you need to send them to a warmer climate. They will be taken care of properly for such a senile old phart like you!

Contender, I talked to Scott just recently and you definitely nailed it on the old phart, part, but I don’t think he’s senile enough to send 3 of a kind out of his sight. He especially likes one and two digit numbers.

Wow just Wow. That’s some history right there. 51 & 52 ???

 

[contender]

"I don’t think he’s senile enough to send 3 of a kind out of his sight."

Hey,, I can TRY can't I???

 

[mr.deerstalker]

For the record, I was putting away 51 and 52 that I pick up not long ago from a fellow collector. and ran across the old boxed SP 44. im working on a display for a few future shows.

 

[contender]

All kidding aside,, those are some great guns to have. Looking forward to seeing the display!

Hey, it’s even warmer down here in Florida!

But salty and humid, bad combination. They need to be someplace dry, like Arizona....

My safe is inside in the AC, and the room is dehumidified too, so there!

I'm pretty sure the 44 (early third year) I have came from Scott many years ago. It's a shooter without a box. Now, I don't shoot it a lot. But every once in a while someone makes a comment and I'm reminded I have to get it out and let them put a few rounds through it. Of course I have to put a few rounds through it as well.

Mine is a shooter as well; missing blueing, dings in the stock, etc. I walked into a LGS last year, saw it on consignment for $800 offered $700, and walked out with it an hour later. The recoil buffer had come loose so I took off the butt plate, cleaned the long screw, reinstalled it correctly then put a few rounds through it. I still haven’t decided whether to restore it or not.
