Now THIS is the Cowboy Way!!

I've been looking for a Winchester 1876 for a few years. An original is always "stupid" money and I just couldn't part with the funds.

I saw on one of these CAS/SASS forums a 22" Uberti in 45-60 with dies and brass for $1100 from a fellow in the Carolinas........I was driving on my way out west on a hunting trip when this ad popped up on my smart phone somewhere around West Virginia.

We stopped at Cracker Barrel for breakfast, and after a fine meal while I was "sitting on the can", I sent an email to the seller telling him I'd buy it but I couldn't get a check to him for a few days. And if this would be acceptable.

He sent me back an email telling me he trusted me for the money and it was going in the mail that very day! And, he took $100 off the price!!!!

Sure enough I get an email later that day with tracking info to my local gun shop. Once settled into hunting camp,  I then drove the hour+ into the closest town so I could send him a check.

The rifle showed up and it is magnificent!

Thanks Perry, you are gentleman and a scholar!!! And a darn good cowboy!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Great story! It would be nice to be able to trust everyone like that. Unfortuntly I've had a few run ins with totally dishonest folks that ruined my ability to just trust anyone to honour a deal the way I would myself. Pictures please!!!!!
