    1886 Browning Winchester octagon barrell take off

    I had Doug Turnbull turn my Browning 1886 into a 50-100-450. I have the original 45/70 octagon take-off barrell. Before I throw it on GB and sell it for whatever it goes for, can anyone think of anything interesting to do with it?

    Thanks

    Earl,

    I wouldn't know what to ask for it. I thought about seeing if it could be made to fit a Remington 700 action and make a smokeless capable muzzle loader out of it.

    BTW- could you throw a pic on my interest thread in GB discussion for your 50time cal. Boolit?

    Thanks

    Aaron

    Is this a Japanese barrel or an original, old school, Winchester barrel?

    If it is "Made in Japan", it is worth $90 (I recently bought a few different modern octagon barrels and that is what I was paying.

    If it is Old School, New Haven CT barrel, then condition comes into play and only God knows what it will fetch.
