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?

Wish you the best of luck at making it yours.

Wow Kirk! That is really nice!
I hope your not going to use smokless in it like the 76 a few long years ago.

I pulled the stock off and the assembly numbers on the stock and frame are matching...

Kirk-YOU really need to start buy'n lotto tickets with your good luck.

Meeting me was the second best luck he ever had His first best luck was meeting his saint of a wife.

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.

Whe was it converted to center fire?

No, it was made as a centerfire...
