Winchester 1873 22 Short

[shrapnel]

I went to the Las Vegas Collectors show and found this gorgeous 1873 in 22 short. It didn't take long to beat the guy up and walk away with the rifle.

While I was walking down the aisle another dealer offered me $1,000.00 more than I paid for it. you don't find 1873 22 rifles in this condition with a good bore!

It shoots great as well. The target was 25 yards on a concrete bench, resting on my elbow. It is certainly a keeper!

As usual you find some of the nicest guns around.

What ammo are you shooting in it, BP, Smokeless, Brand?

Very cool

HEY THERE SHRAPNEL

Personally, I'd wish for one more photo.  I'd really like to see the inside of the Carrier Block to suss out what Winchester did to make it run 22 Short.
