Here are two new to me TD's that I have added to my never ending collection 
!865 1st Allin conversion which I purchased from Al a few months ago then picked up at the Baltimore show last month. Found that the ejector was broken and a screw was missing from the case extractor. Replaced those parts and polished the chamber. Now a .58 rimfire round slides right in. I have contacted a company in Texas that is able to make new brass that utilizes a 22 caliber pistol blank for the primmer. They are rather expensive but I really want to bring this rifle back to life on the firing range!!! Should anyone have a opinion on what bullet to use I would greatly appreciate your input.
My other addition is an 1884 manufactured in 1889. I already have a really nice 1889 produced rifle but I just couldn't refuse a minty rifle with a minty bayonet and scabbard for 999.99
My photo skills are still lacking but hope you all enjoy!
The 1889 produced rifle looks like there has never been a round fired in it other than at the armory. The bluing is bright and shinny along with excellent case color on the breech plug.
