First look at my new Winchester 1873 today.
.44-40 of course.
I am impressed, color case is very nice, looks kind of splotchy because of the factory oily gunk all over the rifle.
Wood to metal fit is very good, action is slick and smooth, nicer than the Uberti I handled.
Anyone know what that screw on the top of the receiver is, the one by the dustcover, part of the new firing pin safety?
