However, both the blurb and the specs/details fail to ID the chambering/caliber (.45 Colt ? .44-40 ?).
Winchester Model 1866 150th Commemorative High Grade Lever Action Rifle -Only a limited number will ever be made -- all in commemoration of the 150th Anniversary of the founding of Winchester Repeating Arms.
Every feature, every component, every detail testifies of the importance this gun will have in the history of Winchester, just like the originals did.
This remarkable rifle starts with a custom grade V/VI walnut straight grip stock with a satin oil finish that’s velvet smooth to the touch.
Features a classic rifle-style forearm with engraved forearm cap for the legendary look and feel of the original Model 1866.
One of the crowning embellishments is the custom 150th Anniversary engraving on the polished brass receiver, lifter, lever, buttplate and forearm cap -- all done in the classic Ulrich style, including the Winchester Horse & Rider, and the WRA trademark scroll.
I'm wondering if Winchester's sourcing this model from Uberti, or from Miroku - does anyone know for sure ?
