Doug does it all the time, high dollar stuff, I figure for the excitement. Sure enough someone with deep pockets snaps it up. But he got to enjoy the momentary thrill of “what if…” on a bargain. lol

Well I won! But it’s good. A real 1873 Winchester in .38 WCF, made in 1888. Astonishingly clean for 138 years old. No boogered screws, all matching, no splits in the wood, no extra screw holes added, nothing missing or altered. Good bore. The wonderful Italian guns are so high I stumbled upon this survivor within that budget. Surely some western enthusiast with a pocket full of money will snatch it. I threw out the minimum, just for fun. Now to pay for it….

A good gun at a fair price will always be a sound value. Plus we get to shoot and share them. Looking forward to it. I have two custom .38-40 revolvers. I like the .400 caliber.
