I like the confuguration, particularly the set-triggers! But not so keen on the caliber. -Tutt

It looks like the bolt might be moving the peep back/down, out of battery, when the bolt/lever's fully opened.

In the pic with the action closed, the peep is in it's proper/erect/upright firing position - but in the pic of the action/bolt/lever half open/closed, the peep has been tilted back off plumb, and it's stem is now perpendicular to it's base, ILO the normal angle of the firing position.

Beatifull!! If only it were 38-55 (and $1,000 :D )

I really like the 1/2 oct / 1/2 mag configuration on the old Winchesters.

Not too bad, but an undesireable caliber to me. Had it been a .32-40 or .38-55 it might get me wound up, but not the .32 WS. The gun is in less than 50% overall condition, so despite the special features, his reserve is probably a bit on the high side. :|

Joe Salter has a decent special ordered '94 with 1/2 Oct bbl, cal .32WS, for a little over this guy's minimum. No PG, or DST, but what the heck. Those '94 DSTs are very prone to breakage.
