Hi:
I made a big A## mistake today and went not only by but into one of our LGS. I had been looking for an 1892 Winchester for about a year. I wanted a shooter with as good as possible bore.
The LGS had one in 32-20 with a mint bore. The gun is tight and does not appear to have been shot much. It was made in 1901. I have sent for a letter from the Cody Museum.
It has about 90% of the original finish on stock and the bluing is about the same. There is almost no sign of wear on the bolt face.
It has a 24 inch Octagon barrels that I like. I was very happy to get one with a bore that is a shiny as the day it left the factory. The rifling is as strong as I have seen in an older gun
I paid $ 1400.00 for it. I will now being looking for a bullet mold for it. It came with a box of new ammo and one box of brass and 500 hundred cast boolits. Any suggestions on boolits and loads would be appreciated.
I will head out to the range Friday and shoot it. I let you know if it shoots as well as its looks.
Thanks,
Terryt
