U Boyz are hilarious... Carol worked for Little John Gangle for over 20 years before striking out on her own.
A friend of mine estate was auctioned at two of Carols auctions last year (May & November), All the Swiss Tgt rifles, tgt rifles & pistols, the better military stuff, Colt & Smiths, along with the custom knives were his. Featured in that auction were several Steve Dowd Hughes Custom rifles including the 1877 Sharps that my friend spent 30K to have built.
Yawowzer...I bid on it to 10K and backed off apparently one of my friend's, friend bought the rifle for about 14K out ze door. Absolutely a beautiful rifle.
Anyway I was able to get a coupla of pieces from his estate for prices that would make him turn over in his grave. But he would be happy to see that I got them because he had left me in in Trust to receive something from him (it was a short list)? As an example I was able to purchase a Homer Dangler Custom Flintlock rifle for just over 2K...and the Ed Brown Custom Marine Corp Tactical rifle.
That one ought to make the juice run down your legs
So I know Carol and her crew pretty well....and BTW that guy on the phone bidding is me!
