Thank you very much, all of you, for your comments. I will leave the rifle as it is. I mean, it is complete and besides that, as I said before, we have no one here in Sweden like Mike Hunter or Turnbull. For those who wonder about the caliber. It is a .44-40 WCF. A range report will come! Best, Stef...

Thank you very much all of you, for your nice comments. I really appreciate it! That is a nice looking gun! When were the changes done? Nothing wrong with a cut gun if you werent the cutter.

This is the first Winchester Mod. 1873 I bought. If I should have known what I know today I probably should have run away from it. :shock: Shortened barrel, shortened magazine, no finish, wrong swivels…. I guess, it is more easy to say what´s wrong with it than what´s correct. Well, it was my first ...

Thank you, ollogger!
The caliber is 44-40.
I am not sure but I think that the cleaning rods were not furnished with the .32 and .22 caliber models.

Sixgun, what a beautiful rifle you have there.
I must admit that I have never seen a Savage 99 lever action "live" and then of course I have not been shooting one either. I should really love to try a Savage lever action someday in the future.
Thanks for posting!

Thank you very much guys. As I said before I really appreciate all opinions and advices. I wouldn't try to repair the original. Use the Repo and keep the original for when you decide to sell. You retain the value of the original and don't risk further damage it or the rifle by using it. Griff, that ...

I use to collect the Swedish model 94, 38, 41 and the 96 but I sold the collection when i realized that I could afford to buy old Winchester and Marlin lever actions.

Anyway, I love the caliber 6,5x55 and use it very often when I am hunting.

"Hombre, the Bowie knife was made for me by Mr. Soellner of Chisholm’s Trail. It has a 6 & ¼” blade made of solingen steel and the handle is Sambar Stag. He also made the sheath. That knife has cleaned a few deer."

Old Shatterhand, it shouldn´t be impossible to find an old original Winchester 86 here in Sweden. Okey, I think it is harder to find one in 45-70 than one in for instance 45-90 but that doesn´t matter or....? I have no experience at all with these new Winchesters but in my opinion if you compare an ...

Hombre

Stefan, that is another beautiful '86. Did you mean to say 'button' magazine rather than 'full length' magazine? KirkD, what I meant is that I should prefer a full lenght magazine and an octagonal barrel but that this is what I found. :) Sorry for not being so good in explaining myself in the engli...

This one I must admit that I am very proud of. Made 1894, I think. Caliber 50 Ex. No octagonal barrel and full lenght magazine

Love to see all those "86". I am not sure but maybe this one also is made 1890. Serial 48338. Caliber 45-90. Have been looking for one in 45-70 but so far no luck. Up to now I only have two in 45-90 and one in 50 Ex. Best regards, Stefan sweden http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq118/Homb...

Thanks for the pictures. Beautiful rifles!
I wish I could have one in that caliber too but frankly speaking I have only seen a few Winchesters Mod 92 in 25-20 here in Sweden.
