Three Foot Johnson

Easily worth a few tens of dollars.

I had one of these and a 336CB .38-55... the short story is the Winchester outshot the Marlin ten ways to Sunday, so down the road it went, and I still have the Winchester. All of these Winchester commemmoratives are also C&R - the Legendary Frontiersman is on Page 21, 9th from the bottom. https://www.atf.gov/file/128116/download

Says Baikal IZH-43E on the bottom of the action (MP-220) - the E means it originally had ejectors, as evidenced by the split extractor.

There was a family here, dad, mom, and two boys, who used 9.0 Red Dot for many years - you could actually see the shot ball going downrange. Maybe he finally got a wad stuck, because he eventually bumped it up to 10.0 grains. I've settled on 12.0 grains Red Dot with 7/8 oz shot and a Windjammer wad. If the crimp collapses in due to the shot column not being high enough, I use a piece of plastic packing peanut on top. 10.5 grains of Unique? That's not a typo?

?? Regardless of what a manufacturer decides to print, HP will always be higher than BHP. More HP cannot be developed as it is transmitted through the drivetrain.

Ya, bad wording. I don't know how HP can be measured before the crankshaft, but the gist is the engine develops slightly more HP than Stihl's BHP spec.

Rated at 6.7 BHP, so engine shaft HP should be a bit more yet.

This is my last one, I'm done. I started it a couple times this year, but didn't ride it anywhere.
