But money does not come to me year round, my next infusion is several months away. I call that Christmas. Honestly, I would have to check values but do find your offering interesting; I just bought a new Winchester (Miroku) in 44-40 and your example would be a nice partner piece. If nobody bites on this one, contact me towards the end of the year. My funding problem might be resolved. Link to post Share on other sites

Really cool rifle!! Bore is semi-dull with some visible pitting here and there. carrier is mainly dinged up top and bottom from usage, does not affect functioning. Link to post Share on other sites
LQ Jones 95 Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 Don't forget, this rifle is 126 years old. Yes, it's banged up a little, yes it's bore is not perfect. But it's the real deal. Bore is better than a lot of similar age rifles I have seen. Link to post Share on other sites
