Winchester 88 trigger pull
Has anyone else measured the trigger weight on their 88? Was playing with a new Lyman digital trigger gauge, tried it on my restocked model 88 and got an average of 5.75 lbs. That's compared to: 336sc 35rem measured 3.5 lbs Pre WWI 30wcf 1894 src measured just over 4 lbs Crossfire trails 1876 carbin...

You're right! Found it in a 1944 S. D. Myres catalog.

Anyone have one of the old SD Myres El Paso catalogs or recognise this model? I'm curious about this one with the extended front, maybe rear sight protector?

1894 Winchester SRC and a story
Always wanted an old 1894 Winchester src and brought one home today. The outside is pretty worn, but the bore is bright. Made in 1910 and came from the family that inherited Emmett Dalton's estate. The local shop tried to tie it to Dalton but there's no paper trail. Good story though. https://adobe....
