| Maine Sesquicentennial Frontier Scout Five years ago I posted an inquiry about finding a Maine Sesquicentennial Frontier Scout 22 issued in 1970. Couldn't find one that was even remotely realistically priced - All were $500 +. Last week I got an email from a guy that had just read my 5 yr old post and he said he had one. Long story short, he lives less than 15 miles from me. We talked on the phone a few minutes and reached a deal that made both of us happy. Even has the original cardboard shipping sleeve. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7.../DSC02676a.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7.../DSC02678a.jpg

| Very sweet looking little .22. So what did you end up paying? Very nice looking revolver. Will you shoot it or is it pretty much just going to be a safe queen/display revolver?

This will definately not be a shooter. Safe queen/display for sure.

| That's a nice looking wheelgun! Raven, what part of Maine are you located at? (Don't worry, I'm not asking to meet up or anything like that, just curious so I can share local news in the future  ) |
