Mike Brooks Rifle on TOTW
« on: January 26, 2018, 12:27:50 AM »
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.

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

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.

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

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?

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.
