Rifle was rechambered from 45-70 to 45-90.
Rebounding hammer and safety was removed and the hammer was recut to make it a half-cock like an original.
Some metal parts blued and the receiver and small parts color case hardened.

That's good news, Tom. By the time it gets there, you should have a pretty good idea where you want to start with load development.

Just to make sure I understand this, was this already your rifle and you are having it worked on? Or is it a new rifle which you had shipped directly to Turnbull before you ever took possession of the rifle?

What I'm trying to understand is, if you had the rifle in your possession before you shipped it to Turnbull, why is a dealer involved in the return at all? I wouldn't think GA is as backward as CA about firearms transactions and would not have a statute requirement that the return come through an FFL.

Purchased from a dealer out in Colorado. It was BNIB and shipped to Turnbull for the work.

My two boys have been fighting over the original 86 Winchester that I have. Been passed down in the family to the oldest son for the last three generations. Counting me it would be the fourth generation.

The oldest boy will get the original and the youngest the newest one.

Thanks. That was the only way it made sense (except maybe for CA). Now you are starting a new family tradition - at least as long as there are 2 siblings. Enjoy the rifle.

UPS will be delivering it to my dealer on Tuseday.
Pictures will be up the same night!
