Whitney Kennedy SRC in 45-60
These things are not easy to find but when you do, you need to grab them.There weren't more than 1000 Whitney Kennedy SRC's made, few in 45-60, here it is with a SRC in 44-40...

Most excellent! Thanks for sharing.
Re: Whitney Kennedy SRC in 45-60
Nice! That's a unique look, with the two lumps underneath.
Does the rear of the bolt protrude with the lever closed?
Looks like they have more tang angle, like a Henry, to facilitate iron sigts... izzatso?

Very nice, thanks for sharing pictures!

Re: Whitney Kennedy SRC in 45-60
yes, i have bid on these many times but have yet to snag one....... i would bet i was bidding against you and you won, at least on some of them ! like you did with the spencer pump rifle!
seriously, those are great -- hard to find, great condition, very desirable. i would shoot one if i had it; i have an S lever whitney kennedy 44/40 rifle, and it shoots well !
thanks for sharing !

me too; eventually a number of my vintage pieces are going to get their chance [ some have already done so ]
probably at our place in montana near bozeman, where the mule deer were playing in our yard last week during spring break:
and who mooned me for taking their picture!
