yep!! me too. but never found one i thought i could afford !

Yup, ever since I read Snooky Wiliamson's write up on the big 50.

Walker

Thanks Andy, I missed this growing up.

Walker

That's the way to do it!

Walker

Nice rifle and great shooting with irons.

Walker

I was getting worried. Fine work to those that got everything up and stable again!

Walker

Thanks! I'll try it and see if it has the height to reach out to 200yds and post the results.

Walker

Very sorry to hear this Tycer. You're in my thoughts

Walker

Eddie, forgot to mention the sight's not marked. It might be a reproduction.

Best, Terry

Walker

Hi Eddie, The 86 breechbolt has the cutout for a cartridge guide spur on the right side (that semi-circular one). The Model 71 cartridge guide lacks the top spur so no cutout was needed. I've got both and other than that cutout they appear to be the same. Mr. Pickle's The Models of 1886 and 1892 on ...

Hey Guys, I'm working on a project and found an 86 breach bolt milled for the 98A bolt peep sight. How interchangeable are the 86 breach bolts? I really like the bolt peep on my m71 and thought it would be handy on a 33wcf.

Thanks,
Terry

Walker

Thanks Doc, I'd never seen it done that way.

Walker

Has anyone tried the 62B tang sight made for the 1873 on an 1876? I liked how the 62B folded flat on my 1873 src and would add it to my Crossfire Carbine if it worked.

Thanks,
Terry

Walker

I've grown to appreciate the model 71 pistol grip for handling the recoil; fingers don't get beat up. I do wish Winchester had stayed with the 1886 style PG though. Lesser cartridges I like a straight grip.

Walker

Talking with the gunsmith today, the dovetail edges were filed square. We talked it over and decided to silver solder the hanger onto the barrel. The bore is too good to discard the barrel.

Thanks guys!

Walker

Picked up this old 86 years ago and had it in the safe. It's getting refinished and it looks like the hanger dovetail was wallowed out enough that it hasn't enough metal left to ping. Any ideas? I don't want to restore it, just get it back into hunting shape. I haven't come across a replacement barr...

Walker

Nice shot and the rifle is outstanding!

Walker

Now that was excellent!

Walker

Beautiful Winchester and a great hunt

Walker

Hey Guys, this morning Turnbull had 4 sets of Hornady custom 50-110 dies https://www.turnbullrestoration.com/gun ... 0-hornady/

Walker

Hope you get through it quickly. Got my gallbladder removed Monday... wife tested positive Wednesday and I tested positive today. First time for us both. So far just feels like bad allergies.

Walker

Happy Birthday Sir! Been a real pleasure hanging out here and rereading your book.

Walker

Happy Birthday Jim!

Walker

That would do just fine!

Walker

Walker

Congratulations! It sure makes the journey better.

Walker

One of my favorite stories.

Walker

I'm in the same club. Shoot equally poorly with either hand.

Walker

...and Hannie Caulder. Hard to believe she's gone and we're that old.

Walker

Happy Birthday! Hope it was a good one.

Walker

They shoot alright. This is from 7 yds. The spread is from shooting as quickly as I could. I need to get them out more often.

I still don't see how Fitz pocket carried those cut down New Services. I had Andy Horvath work over a pair of abused ones and thin the trigger guards but I don't even think that's needed. Had the itch...

Walker

Didn't you walk funny without it Doc?

Walker

Nice! I've got an old MS model 1903 with 6 notches carved in the bottom of the butt stock.

Walker

Yeah, up to that point it was ok... attention to historic detail is frequently not a priority in Hollyweird.

Walker

Excellent!

Walker

Thanks Guys. I'll miss my hunting buddies but I won't miss hunting the Mojave. I've got family with land around Tulsa but we're too far away. Not necessarily a bad thing. Best of luck Tutt! Thanks Rockrat, I'll check out the OKC gun club wait list.

Walker

Sold the house in San Diego and moved back home to Oklahoma in July. Haven't seen 1 BLM yard sign since and folks are friendly. Now just need to find out where everyone's going to shoot their old Winchesters.

Walker

Love it! Can't wait to send it to my niece and imagine the eye rolls.

Walker

Sweet!

Walker

That's weird. Nice looking rifle, saw it posted elsewhere.

Walker

Have a good one!

Walker

Hope it was a good one Jim!

Walker

Excellent! Thanks for posting Nath.

Walker

Beautiful rifle! Now I need to read up on the 40-60.

Walker

I like it!

Walker

Happy Birthday DT! Hope you're keeping those '76 Winchesters busy!

Walker

Small and handy. I'm always loosing tools to my wife so I ordered 2.

Walker

Just the one, wish it was original... Shipped to San Francisco in 1913 as a 32wcf. 1st gen Russian and S&W 44 barrel and cylinder fitted later.
