His is liberal with our money. Tax and spend will be even higher. Say he will legalize pot for the tax dollars they can reap. Bigger deficits.
Worst, he will likely cause issues with our gun ownership laws again. Bad for gun owners!

Re: Picked up an 1892 but what is it?
As stated that is the right position for the serial number.
As for the pictures, use natural sun light but not in the direct sun or stay further back so the flash can cover the rifle properly, zoom in with the lens if possible. Or crop to fit in the computer if you can not use a zoom.

Likely if you compare the length of the two bullets, the Noslers are longer. The shorter 100 gr bullets will work ok. Spire points are very marginal while the shorter soft points and round noses are fine in the 14" twist.

This is the heaviest that the slower twist barrels could stablize as far as I know. The bullets are short for their weight, that is why they will fly straight. My Sav 99 is dated around 1927. This is old stuff is in my locker. Likely also sold under the Winchester label back in the day.
