WIN 1886 40-65 Year 1896

[Palatine Tom]

Dear all,

Maybe you can give me some hints:

I got offered :

- Winchester Rifle 1886 40-65 Year 1896

- Winchester Rifle 1895 35 WCF Year 1915 Take Down

- Winchester 1895 7,62x54R Year 1916 Russia contract with bajonett

What is a reasonable price, the overall conditions are good incl the rifling?

Any experience about reloading ?

Thank you for your kind help


Tom

   Greetings!

   Without detailed Info/Photos, this is real subjective... Reloading is straight-forward for all of the
cartridges: .40-65 easily made from .45-70Govt - just lube and size in the .40-65WCF die; .35WCF
can be made from .405 Win-Basic brass ($$), perhaps Jameson or Bertram Brass; 7.62X54R is virtually
over-the-counter.
   PHOTOS!!

          Be Well!
