Well I had two Navy rifles on my wish list in this Rock Island Auction. One was this Remington-Lee 1879 and the other was a second model Winchester-Hotchkiss. There were actually 2 of each of these rifles in the action.  Had managed to talk myself into NOT bidding on these two arms UNTIL this link was posted and I watched it several times.

This video broke down my will power and I submitted both bids Wednesday of this week. Thought maybe I could win at least one of them.  Both were in today's auction and this evening I got an email stating I was a winner today and when I logged into my account found out I won them BOTH! 

SO the very rifle in the video will soon be mine and my credit card bill will be much larger this next billing. Thanks a lot Drydock. 
Eventually photos will be posted.
