Let's just say that he is very particular.
He was at my place last evening for a New Years Eve party. He had arrived early and we had been in my shop tinkering with a couple of 94's. After the the rest of the crowd had dispersed he brought something in the house that he had not mentioned all evening.
It was a Uberti model 76 short rifle in .45-60. He'd picked it up the day before. Wow, what a gorgeous rifle! The serial no. was in the high 300's. It has a 22" octagon barrel and weighs right at nine and a half pounds empty.
Maybe we'll get to see what it'll do this week!

We took it out for an informal spin today!
Here it is next to my 26" model 94 in .38-55
There is a difference in the holes they make!
The proof of the pudding:
The one ragged hole at one o'clock is from the .45-60 at 25 yards shot from the position shown above. Four shots.
