I was at the local gun show this morning and on a table was a Bearcat in the grey molded plastic box and the tag says "New Model Bearcat"
Not really in to the New Model Cats but looking at it I knew it was not a NM. I asked if I could pick it up and the guy says sure and said this was a "new gun with the box with the manual". When I flipped it over and looked at the serial number it was J844 , I said new in the box huh? He assured me it was. He accepted my $400 offer and I brought it home. Hard to tell if it's been shot but not much. easily a 95+% gun!!
It gets better. I own one other Alpha Cat...... F844
My wife said I should just collect all the alpha #844's.
I told her I would work on that
Like I said my lucky day!!!!
Cheers,
JAY
Well, at least I've not bought any more Winchesters, Smiths, or Colts lately
