WITHDRAWN Combination gun sale .54 hawken/.62 smoothbore

[fpg68j2p]

I am selling due to moving out of the country. I acquired these both in 1992, the GL Jones .62 Caliber Gentleman's English Fowler Smoothbore was ordered via GL Jones while he was still gunsmithing in Williamstown VA and the .54 Caliber Custom Hawken shop rifle was acquired from Carl Skip Deister from St. Charles MO, (who acquired it from Art Ressel at the St. Louis Hawken Shop) who were both friends of my father. They are lightly used and have some handling marks. Last shot in 2015 about 5 times each, other than that they have been stored in a humidity controlled gun safe. This will be FREE personal delivery only within 8 hours drive time from Jacksonville Florida, I will not ship. Cost is $4000.00, no trades, method of payment is cash. Buyer can refuse payment upon delivery inspection with no hard feelings, comes with additional work rod and some other perks that are in short supply. If they do not sell within 30 days then I will tender them separately same rules. This is an opportunity that is seldom seen. PM for more pictures

I thought you could sell more than 1 item per post as long it is all inclusive of the one sale price. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

if you list a group of items as one its one item, or one lot or one group for one price,

Looks to me like it's a pair for sale - which is perfectly OK.
FNO - it would be nice if you voice your concerns by "reporting" your concern and not messing up someone's listing.
If it needs attention - that's the moderators job.

But imagine the chaos that would ensue if we didn't have respected mods...

 

[thompson50]

That is a beautiful smoothbore

Two items for one price = one listing. The OP said he will list them separately after 30 days if they don’t sell (which would equal two new, separate listings). I don’t see the forum rule-breaking here…

My apologies to the OP, I overlooked the one price both both arms.

I have done that in the past without reply nor action by a Mod, hence my post.

Those are exceptional quality firearms & are well worth your asking price & would snap up the pair if I were not 79 years old & unable to shoot long guns anymore.

Yes, appreciate it, just shooting a fair deal for some quality stuff that someone can get some use out of them
