Got my UPS tracking notification that they had been delivered to my FFL holder today. Drove straight on down there to pick them up. Weapons had not even been logged into his system by the time I got there. Did the requisite paperwork and got them home.
Really happy about getting them both. 1 of them appears to have been fired very,very little if at all. No residue of any solvents of any kind in the action. Had dust in the barrel and that was it. Very minor 1" faint scratch on the stock is all.
The other one was used but again very little. Some markings on the stock but nothing on any of the metal. Could be anal and refinish the stock in oil but I think I will keep it as it is.
The blue on both weapons is great and sure puts the reproduction 1886 Winchesters to shame. That and there is no confounded stinking sliding safety on the tang!!!! Half cock like the original.
Here are some pictures, not the best but pictures just the same.
