interesting rifle at Lehighton auction Sunday
« on: December 13, 2012, 02:59:34 PM »
Auctionzip shows an interesting rifle on Sunday in Lehighton. I'm not sure what to make of it. I'll try to post a link later.   It has some really nice features that make me think of Kuntz, but I'm a novice. I thought it might bring up some interesting discussion
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Just wondering if someone with self confidence in the area can address ( analyze) the nature of the wear patterns  on the stock and around the "furniture."
Was this an attempt at "refinishing or restocking." It seems unusual?

It was probably caused by using Brasso to polish the brass many years ago, that's pretty common Fred.
