hi ron .. i couldn't find your e-mail so i am posting this message in hopes that you see it in time .
i just got back form the Allentown gun show and i found about a half doz. 73 , prices start at 1292 00 and go up to 19.500. now i did find a nice 73 with Oct. bbl and in 44-40 cal. the dealer wants 1550.00 for it the only thing i could see wrong with it is the dust cover is missing if you want it i can pick it up for you tomorrow (Sunday) but you must call me before 2pm eastern time . ron p.

Ron, I really appreciate your effort. Is there any way you can just get his number or card. I wouldn't want you to have to be responsible for this transaction, but it sounds like I would be interested in this one if you think it is good enough that you could restore it. The dust cover is not a problem if the inside bolt and carrier looks good enough to refinish. Thanks a bundle Ron, I appreciate it! Was he negotiable on the price?

Wow! Thanks Ron for your trouble. It must be in the name, and everyone named Ron is a nice guy. What do you think?............I will check it out. I was looking at another one that was really good, but it was out there in price even though the guy gave me a break on that. This one sounds like it might be more in my range. Thanks again............Ron S
