Conner Prairie Longrifles Show.
« on: February 19, 2020, 12:20:26 AM »
Went down to the show in Noblesville to help a friend deplete some of her late husbands collection and was surprised at the nice selection of rifles for sale both old and new. Wanted to get a Mike Brooks rifle in the truck but didn't have enough candy. I really got the I wants. She has the #3 and #4 rifles in Shippers book but didn't sell them. I thought it was a great show.

That bottom gun is a steal at $2800. Hand forged BP and TG by me....when I was in my "hand forged iron mounts" stage. I got over that stage pretty fast, too much work.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

The top one was only $3500. Very nice iron mounted rifles.
