We all during our life time aquire a rifle for sentimental reasons. I lost a good friend (aka 'Slim Chance') at this time 15 years ago, and I managed to buy his prized '92 Winchester that was his pride and joy, from his estate.
Completely rebuilt to 44 Special, bore lined, full magazine that holds 14 and color case hardened action and lever. Truly, a one of a kind.
44 Special and 44 Magnum rounds
Hold Still Varmint; while I plugs Yer!
You are truly lucky.....you now have a visible connection to your friend that will bring back good memories flooding unto you as you use it....
When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!

That's one gorgeous shooting iron. It is nice to have something like that to remember a friend. Congrats.

My avatar is almost a dead ringer for my little buddy Chico. Six pounds of mean that thought he was a Pit Bull. Miss that little guy.
Beautiful rifle. I'd bet Slim Chance is smiling on you

Wow, that is beautiful and in my all time favorite caliber: 44 Special. It simply does not get any better. Thank you for sharing it.
Love it!
Beautiful!
I fantasize about having a couple of my guns case color hardened. Maybe one day...
that's really nice on a lot of levels.
I see a lot of merit in a 44 spl or 38 spl. Your friend had good taste in firearms.
