A good friend has a Win 95 in .40-72 that is dimensionally nearly like Ricks but in very good condition. It was sold out of the family in the 30's by his grandfather. My friend knew who bought the rifle and told him if he ever decided to sell it to let him know first. Many years went by and finally the call came. He went to see the rifle and took about $700 with him. The now, old gentleman told him he would sell it back to him for exactly what his grandfather was paid, $75. He included one full box and half another, .40-72 original Winchester rounds. As I said, the man was a gentleman. He stated that he had just borrowed it for the 50 or so years he used it.
My friend passed away a few years ago but his two sons know the family heirloom story.
