I saw this one recently and didn’t remember ever seeing it before. Apparently it was buried with Wild Bill and removed after they moved his body. I have an old Allen Trapdoor that has been cut down a hair and had a pretty rough stock. I always thought it would be neat to make a vintage sporter looking rifle out of it. Seeing Wild Bill’s resparked that interest.
