A beautiful Mike Brooks' rifle popped up on Track of the Wolf today. I hope it is there by tax refund time and my better half believes what I tell her I paid for it.

Please somebody snag it so I can stop worrying about it.

Somebody buy it and gift it to me, I like that one.

Well, that didn't last long. Seven minutes from post to I find it sold. Someone on here snag it?

Mike Brooks · « **Reply #3 on:** January 26, 2018, 12:34:45 AM »

I didn't figure that one would last long!

Thank goodness.

Shoot, I was digging for the credit card as I was clicking to get to the site. What did it sell for?

Rats, I would have bought that if I had seen it in time.

Makes me feel real happy to have a Brooks piece or 3 in hand.

There is a Beck smooth rifle by J. E. Brown on the TOW site as well.

Does anyone have any contact info for J. E. Brown?

I was told it might be J. Eddie Brown, but I have no further information.

I believe you are correct, but I don't know who he is other than seeing his guns on TOTW.

I like that smooth rifle, but I already have a .54 and would rather keep the same caliber in the safe.

Of course, I really liked your .54 that sold so fast, I wish I had seen it in time, I would have bought it.

Hope you are all healed up by now.

My Brooks 20 ga fowler is one my favorite guns. 46 inch barrel that feels so light and nimble. Can't go wrong owning a Brooks gun...

Not near the same amount of gun, no comparison.

There’s a much nicer Beck here on ALR for a lot less money.

But, it sure does suit MY tastes in an early rifle: I really like that one!

I never got to see the subject of the original posting: didn't show up when on TOTW site when I looked. Your comment makes me wish even more that I'd seen it now.

Mike Brooks · « **Reply #19 on:** January 28, 2018, 10:29:51 PM »

Here's a little slider show of the gun.

Go to Guns, flintlock and then past all of the guns for sale until you get to pending.

Martin S. · « **Reply #21 on:** January 29, 2018, 01:04:23 AM »

They took it down from pending.

I hate it when they do that.

Has anyone paid for the subscription where you can supposedly see all the past rifles?

Maalsral · « **Reply #22 on:** January 29, 2018, 02:19:26 AM »

I have subscribed to TOTW’s service to see all of their sold guns. It is pretty good.

I have a rifle very similar to this one by Mike that was built by J. Eddie Brown.

Never saw one disappear that quick. Must have been a pick up? Usually they are up for about two weeks.

I sold a gun there once, took 4 hours. Of course that was back when the market was real hot.
