Found A Nice 1866 SRC
I have been chasing a few Winchesters around for several years and finally got one. He has some nice old stuff, but we haven't been able to complete a deal other than this 1866. It was made in 1885 and is in real good condition...

Very nice. Factory engraving? Do you know by who?
Real gun powder is black.

Mike is always condescending if nothing else. We did get some rounds through the gun, we need more time to figure it all out before I take it elk hunting this fall...

If Kevin Costner can drop a Buff with a Henry I'm sure you can drop a Bull Elk with a "Improved Henry". Let's see, how many rounds does that magazine hold?

I take it is a late model centerfire .44? Still one that I've wanted for a long time.

Did anyone notice that I got him shooting black powder for once.

I did, but didn't want to say anything for fear that he didn't know and thought it was Bullseye. I kept looking for the staked out Angus too.

Shooting grease groove bullets in a sharps is new technology and just a passing fad.
