So the 1873 arrived in Spanish fort Tuesday and I picked it up Thursday… way beyond my expectations… it’s flawless, appears never has been shot but can’t confirm that and was listed way below value so was an absolute steal… in a few days I almost way overpaid for the FrankenChester to getting...
I paused it 2 days ago & then cancelled yesterday… luckily the guy was busy & it hadn’t shipped… guy was great, he honestly didn’t know about the FrankenChester 1892…I do wonder what he’s going to do with it now….
OK update to this thread… well it was indeed an 1892 that was manufactured in 1899 and it is in a caliber that wasn’t invented until the late 1930s. It appears that there has been a practice of converting old shot out or damaged 1892s into a modern caliber. This presents a lot of problems as the...
I’m leaning toward wrong serial # or mis identified as an 1892…. Guy says it’s an estate sale bring in… definitely leaning to much older but in excellent condition… no tang etc… the gold fore end cap I read designates it’s a “short rifle” by Winchester standards but that’s anything under 20” I...
that's what this one is starting to look like... I'll know more when it arrives and the full serial # is confirmed... the guys at winchester are waiting for more on it too, it doesn't fit any standard molds he says...
Just bought one off Cabelas, it’s in Minnesota… guy says it’s a 1892 16.5” barrel in .357… dont have serial # yet… can’t find anything online showing the octagon, but plate & gold accents …wondering if it’s a different model #… I’ll have to wait I guess til it gets here…
Unwinnable argument, and an even worse situation for an honest homeowner and family to be in. Likely people will die in the home and in the attacking police force. If a no knock is executed on the wrong house then all involved should be subject to criminal and civil prosecution. It’s sheer...
This sums it up…. Lol

well, most of those rules/guidelines/laws are already in place and all were violated in the 2020 election... don't need laws, need law enforcement with politicians/elected officials going to jail.
It would be nice, could help level the playing field in elections… if it were a holiday then conservatives would have as much time off that day as liberals… would help us do whatever is necessary to win elections..
