except they want around $2.00 per round of unfired brass. This rifle comes with 100 rounds of new brass. Hope she goes to someone who will shoot her.

Pretty rare chambering in the 99, 1903 to 1917, that one was made about 1908-09. Brass is easily made from 30/30 or .32 Winchester among others. About half of my brass is head stamped 30/30.
I have an old 32-40 handed down from my Grandpa through my Uncle
Dan, nice inheritance, do you shoot it?
My first .32/40 was an early Win 1894 that was in like new condition. I sold it to fund 3 other guns, one of them was a Win HiWall that Bert H hooked me up with. Found a pair of original Winchester molds, and cast more bullets for it than I'll ever use in this lifetime. Enjoy the cartridge in that rifle, even with smokeless loads, low recoil if any, and real accurate.
thanks
yes sir I have just shot it at paper and not a lot because ammo is hard to find
my oldest son will get it and it shall be handed down to his or his brothers oldest
Nice rifle Ricci!
I was looking at your auctions and its amazing to me the Moist Nugget is doing better than the Mauser SMH. Oh well the 32 spc is doing real good as is the 19.
.32-40 ammo is hard to find even in normal times. Winchester put out some .32-40 in nickle-plated brass with "John Wayne" on the box some years ago. I have several Winchester 94s in that caliber but I have been unable to get any of they to shoot accurately. I haven't researched it but I'm guessing the bore diameters don't agree too well with the bullet diameters.
Its getting some action now. I bet it will be over 2k in the end.
That 742 looks brand new and the scope mounts and rings are nice. That would be a great hunting rifle around here in NC or anywhere for that matter.
I was looking at some other 375 H&H Super Grades and they are selling for some serious coin. That M70 should do good.
over $1500.00
Wow, with the rarity, I was guessing $1800 - $1900.
It sold for $2775.00
Yeah, that went about $1,000 higher than I thought it would. I might have thought $2,700 + if it had been a takedown, but it did very well for you Ricci. I hope the buyer enjoys it!
