Ok. This morning I see three Winchester 1866 short rifles in .38 on GB.
Hopefully we'll see more avaliable soon.
-
I've been watching GB pretty close and have not yet seen the "working" model of the Winchester Miroku 1866 advertised. (As opposed to the fancy, pricey engraved '66). I've really been wanting to compare the Miroku '66 to the Uberti '66. If it is anything like the Miroku '73 it should be a hit with guys like us.
Caliber and loading gate design are a couple of my main curiosities concerning the new Winchester Miroku '66.
It looks like this '66 is being featured on the Winchester website as new offering for 2017 but Winchester does not provide a lengthy detail list for all models coming out.
By the way, I do not see the new Winchester 1866 offered yet on Impact Guns, Buds Guns, Guns America, or Buffalo Arms. Makes me think if there was one on GB, it was an anomoly.

Luke Perry's hat style ain't PERIOD CORRECT...

Jazz is great music.
BUT...
A Jazz version of the National Anthem is NOT NEEDED.
At least, not in the context of this, uh, incident.

Wow! Mucho purdy. Makes me wish I had not sold my Mt Gun. Durnit.

My Smith and Wesson. No ring.

I have seen new Colt 1911s going for that price, brand new. I sure would not buy a Para if I could buy a Colt in the same price range.
You might have to order one from an online gun store but even with the shipping thrown in it will be less than $800 for a quality 1911 that will retain its resale value.
If you are patient and can take some time looking around you might be able to find a Springfield GI model. That should set you back somewhere between $450 and $550. Those are quality pieces but are no longer being manufactured by Springfield. The only problem I see with those for some people is they have the standard GI sights which are pretty small.
My thoughts.

I cooked on a Coleman camp stove for three days and burned a ton of candles when our power went out years ago.
Twas not fancy but we had light and hot meals.
And it WAS ONLY three days. We were lucky.

I bought a "used" Ruger Vaquero off GB last year. It showed up and appears to be totally unturned. No sign at all of a cylinder ring. So far I have kept it in the box. I almost hate to start shooting it as it is the only Ruger I have out of my pile of Rugers that is ringless.

Marshal Chance,
That Google Calendar link is indicating Gunsmoke '16.
I'll presume it encompasses the third weekend of September 2017 though.

I'd rather watch Tom Wopat than Susan Sarandon...

Thank you.
Looking forward to it.

The Brisco Kid did a great job on my 1860.
You can contact him at Cowboy Shooters Supply online. He is in Oklahoma.

Bump for the 2017 dates...

You'll love it. Always a great time to be had at EoT.

Just watched it. Not bad. A little bit spaghetti western, a little John Wick. The dog's blanket trick was great. Not very often do you see a McLellan saddle in a movie, even less it being mentioned in the dialogue.
-
The answer to why is pretty simple. The movie had 1911 .45's, 1897 12 gauges, and 1892 .44-40's & .38-40's. There warn't no .38/357's, .32-20's or .25-20's in the movie.
The Winchester model 12 also made an appearance or two. And is now allowed in WB. BuT I'm not sure if there were lugged sole boots...
-
I'm a hopeing for one in .38 WCF...
I know Dream on ... I would settle for one in .44 special ...
Jabez Cowboy
I would LOVE one in 44 Special.

If'n ya got a hankerin to visit a Spanish speaking country for fun and vacation, I'd recommend Costa Rica.
I've been to Mexico on several occasions starting back in 1984. Deep into Mexico as well as the sporadic boarder town visit. I sure as hell would not go there now, anywhere, for any reason. Don't see the need to take that risk. Very volition place anymore.

That's like asking what my favorite dessert is. It has many many answers.
1911 platform. 45 acp. Oh, and Super 38.
Single actions. 45 Colt.
Carry guns. 9mm, 10 mm and 357 Sig.
Carry gun in bear country. 10 mm or 44 mag.
Pistol caliber used in lever action? Gee, in cowboy that would be 45 Colt although 44-40 in black powder is a very close second. Pistol caliber rifle in Bear Country? 44 Magnum.
Seemingly many answers to a simple question. Or maybe I am just very indecisive.
-
I'm looking forward to seeing the Winchester '66 in a "working/shooting" model, not simply an engraved show gun. Hopefully the caliber selection will be diverse and usable.

A great pictorial book on cowboy dress in the Montana area circa 1885 to early 1900s is titled 'I See By Your Outfit'.
Notice it is not, 'I See By Your Costume'.
Hmmm.
1866 Winchester Miroku?

Yes. Inquiring minds want to know.
Hopefully better than the Uberti design...
