  Flayderman, notes that these Hopkins & Allen Falling Block Rifles were made after H & A acquired the Bay State Arms Company in the mid 1880's, and continued until the early 1900's.
  He states that the "values and demand are low".

  According to my reference, the Marlin-Rockwell Corp. bought out Hopkins & Allen in 1916. This was just after H & A had completed a Mauser Rifle contract for the Belgian Government and just prior to the U S entry into the war.

  manchie390, shut off your caps lock.
  H&A and any variants haven't been made for eons. What they did make is now considered to be the classic 'Saturday Night Spceial'. Cheaply made with low quality. Have one. A shooter it ain't, but it got me on paper when it mattered. Canada.
