No Match
Well they were not able to make a match out from my Otto Voit Rifle and any Shell Casings found at the Little Big Horn...so much for Apple Pie in the Sky Dreams of Sudden wealth knocking on my door.
Back to the Drawing Board...I do have a English Flintlock Double Barrel Shotgun in my sights..

All this means is that you can now enjoy shooting it.

What's up with the sudden obsession with Little Big Horn?

Hey, so it goes...may your quest continue, Tabby. What's with the little big horn obsession? Remember the old song, "Mr. Custer" by Larry Verne? The song was perhaps about Tabby's great grandpa!
 "Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go..." Heck, we all need a dream to keep us going, right? Might as well be the search for a little big horn rifle as anything....

I never was interested in the Battle of the LBH before I bought a rifle belonging to a survivor of the Battle. Then I did as much reading as I could to find references to him and find out about what really happened. Never have been a fan of Custer BTW.
If that rifle had had a match it would have been worth between 100K and 500K maybe more. I think that is reason enough for an obession. Now I just have a rifle that belonged to a survivor of the Battle.. and might be worth in the 5K range.

Above the fireplace decorations complete. Tabby now has one rifle, one shotgun...and neither are connected to little big horn. That alone can be a conversation topic.

The reason the dude survived the LBH is that he took off after he saw the first Indian coming over the hill. That rifle was never fired there.
