    WTB: Merrill carbine or rifle

    Well, no luck with the WTB Greene carbine, so back to my favorite, the Merrill. Looking for an early carbine or any rifle, preferably one that doesn't have an upside down 7 in the patchbox inlet area, as I've read those were never issued to troops. Please PM. Eric.

    I'm far more likely to find a great Merrill at a reasonable price on liveauctioneers or proxibid than gunbroker. Oh I wish I had started squirreling away dough weekly a few months earlier, and I'd have been able to buy that 448 serial'd Merrill from RIAC.

    I have two M1 carbines, one of which I might consider trading for that next Merrill, or maybe Greene rifle or carbine, Evans or Soper - any neat technology pre-1900 firearm might be nice to barter. First is a Rock-ola (ballpark $2k+ value, serial 1716095), and the other is a Quality HMC (ballpark $1.2k+ value, serial 1629413) with Inland barrel and Quality HMC on the breech tang. Did a lot of searching on values at proxibid and liveauctioneers for comparable sold prices. Both are in great condition. Rock-ola does not have a bayonet attachment, but the Quality HMC does. Can send plenty of photos if interested. Eric.

    I just won an Alex Henry/Soper sporting rifle. Woohoo! Can't wait for it to arrive. Still hoping someone's willing to barter for a Merrill or Evans or other.
