G'Day Fella's,

Karl, Best Wishes with getting those two firearms.

About the only other rifles I need ...... OK, would like, are as follows;
Winchester 1885 falling block in ? chambering
and
Winchester 1886 Lever Action, in .45-70 ....... or whatever.

They would need to be New and I'm not stuck with them having to be made by Winchester.
Time will tell, but maybe later this year.

By the way, I just got in a new Winchester, Model 1866, Deluxe, Yellow Boy, for a mate/customer today.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Donuts!+P
It has dark, but beatifully figured and grained, butt stock and matching forend wood.
The contrast with the Brass receiver, makes you dribble, it's that nice.

D'oh!

Thanks Homer,I actually talked to one of the smiths from Century arms back in the day who was doing the big cape guns but by that stage he was semi-retired from memory and wanted double rifle prices.

The double 4 bore I almost lined up with Alan Vaisham in green river rifles in South Australia in about 2001 but he retired soon after. I contacted an American gent about a double 4 about 10 years later, but as I had left Australia permanently for work I was not in regions I could own it. Past dreams only

On lever guns had fleeting interests in a uberti factory 1876 in a 50-95 winchester or a spencer carbine in 56-50( I think...)
