Somebody got a good deal. I don't even collect Ohio rifles, and I would have paid that. I thought Teaff rifles brought a premium.

"Good deal" seems to be increasingly common these days.  Also, other than the patch box, this is as pretty plain-Jane rifle.  I would think that also kept the price down.

Interesting patchbox construction.  Considerably shortens the knuckle.
