Well, I finally finished my "Reborn Again Winchester 1876"! 45-60 Caliber with Leather Sling From Buck
When I bought her, she was a bit wornout and pretty well close to being an anchor replacement.
Someone had cut the barrel to a crooked 23.5", the bore was real bad, only one link inside, rear site was from a 1873, and a few other things that I cannot remember.
What I wanted was a hunting rifle. I worked to that direction.
Had the barrel relined and a new crown and chambered correctly for the 45-60 by Siegrist Gun Shop in Michigan. Bought new links from Chas Jones, rear sight, front sight, firing pin, redid the lever and added the swivels by Alan Harton and topped it all with a wonderful Leather Sling from Rick Bachman (Old West Reproductions), Whew - Probably left something out... OH yeah THe Pictures!
