Since I load for several 45-70 rifles, I need to mark very clearly the brass. A little v cut in the rim for light l...

1873 Winchester oct long barrel in a 22 short. I didn't know they existed. Are they rare? I offered them a thousand because I've seen 44-40 in this good condition asking $5,000. They said it just came in and needs to be appraised. So they wouldn't price it yet.

Re: Been a while. Just got a nice 1894 Marlin 44-40.....

I found out it from the twenties, a musket that the factory changed back to sell. They had their own number stamp, a notch was from cutting off a lug not needed.
When I went to shoot it, it was missing the firing pin. Who knows why, but the gun shop will fix it.
