Calvin N. Hobbes, 17218 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 SOLD Original 1876 Winchester 45-60 manufactured in 1885 , sn 56918. It is in excellent working condition. When I found this twenty years ago, someone had been using it as a modern day hunting rifle as the barrel had been cut and the magazine cut to hold only 3 rounds. I installed a replacement magazine tube. I matched the magazine tube to the patina of the barrel. You would not know it is a replacement unless I told you. I believe this gun is all original with the exception of the magazine tube assembly, and maybe the wood. The stock is in exceptional condition, so much so, that iI believe it may have been replaced at some time. I do not know, you be the judge. The 22" barrel has strong rifling with no rust or pitting. It will consistently hit a 16' plate at 100 yds with no problem, Original dust cover present, and screws are in decent shape. Markings are strong and sharp. It has a sliding trap butt plate but no cleaning rod. Nice patina on a beautiful old rifle. Functions perfectly, I have shot this with Black Powder, trail boss, and reduced power smokeless loads. Antique, $1500 shipped, will consider trade plus cash for Fn FAL/L1A1/R1A1 clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyrus Cassidy #45437 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Hi Calvin, I remember shooting with you when you lived in Colorado. I was a Lieutenant in 3rd ACR and later 4th ID back then and you were a Major in the SF. Now I'm a Lieutenant Colonel in the Reserves. THAT MEANS YOU GOT OLD!!!! I can't afford the gun right now -- I just bought a horse for Mrs. Cassidy (hers died at 28), and we need to replace a deck. I don't have any of the trade guns you listed that I want to get rid of, unless you're interested in something else. I just wanted to say hi.
