[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3476807, member: 9374"] So this old rifle supposedly was recovered down in Mexico sometime around the 1920s by the owner's grandfather. He was a former Texas Ranger who went down and hunted down the man who killed his friend. This was the dead friend's rifle. That's about all I know about it. Let me know what you think.

I didn't get great pics, sorry. [IMG]https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-BdNkhFv/0/X2/i-BdNkhFv-X2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-RKLswJv/0/X2/i-RKLswJv-X2.jpg[/IMG] How do I go about finding out more about this and what it could be worth, should it be cleaned up or left alone, refinished, what? Is it a dime-a-dozen junk remake from the 1970s someone made up a story about? 44 cal it says... not .44 Magnum, right? Is it .44-40? [/QUOTE]
