So?? What happened?? Your last posting on this custom project was back in Jan. ! Johnny F
This thread turned into three projects. All less ambitious than the pistol griped '76.
#1 Bought the new take down pistol grip Winchester to turn into a 22' shot gun butt rifle. That is in the works now. Lots of detailing, color case, shot gun butt and more. But duplicating the gun shown above for the most part.
#2 Have a 20" 'full mag '76 in 45-75 that I am restocking now with a shotgun butt and nice checkered wood. My favorite lever gun to date. This is in the works now.
#3 And since I now will have a wood pattern for the '76
I am building a straight stocked, shot gun butt, button mag, checkered, 22" match grade pencil barrel in 40-60 1876 to mimic Roosevelt's favorite '76. This one will have some engraving as well. I expect a lot from this one. I am waiting on the base rifle to get started.
Should look a lot like this but with a straight stock:
Now the only issue seems to be living long enough so I might enjoy the finished projects!
I'll need another rack in my office. 1st world problems.
