Man, that is just too tempting! Great looking rifle. If needed, how hard is it to find parts for the White rifles.

Looks almost identical to the one I just bought from Michigan. I paid about the same although mine has a silver 3X9 scope that is OK but not an expensive one. OOPs; I didn't look close enough. That is a .451, mine is a .504, crap, now I am thinking I should have the matching .451. I hate when this happens.

The solution to that is buy a bunch of them and then you will have lots of parts. Seriously, they rarely need anything in the way of parts. Breechplug, nipples are very hard and last a very long time. Parts are difficult to come by if you do need them. White is basically out of business although they still answer the phone most of the time.

Spare parts are out there. I bought extra breech plugs, springs, even a trigger for my White. The thing is I think they will probably sit in the box. If you ever look at a White up close you'd understand, they are really built solid.

As MLKeith pointed out - the rifle is a .451 (it wuz late fellerz!)but Sturgeon says Sold Pending Funds so this edit is kinda pointless. Who bought it?
