Re: My first Winchester mod. 1873!
Thank you very much, all of you, for your comments. I will leave the rifle as it is. I mean, it is complete and besides that, as I said before, we have no one here in Sweden like Mike Hunter or Turnbull. For those who wonder about the caliber. It is a .44-40 WCF. A range report will come! Best, Stef...
