Always curious about the old Cowboy era guns. Dont gave alot of money to get into it full blown but have a couple decent lil rifles and am always watching for those targets of opportunity that may present themself.
These are a couple of original 1873 Winchesters that I have came across several years ago. One was manufactured in 1890 the other was 1879. The longer one was sent directly to a large ranch in Mexico from the factory and I picked it up about 130 plus years later across the border in McAllen at a gun show.
The shorter one I haven't done any back tracking on it yet but picked it up off of a feller that needed money and was his fathers old gun collection who had passed away. They are chambered in 44-40 and I believe 38-40.
Anyway I think its Perty neat owning a small piece of history and also get to smoke a possum' arse with a 44-40 slug. Haha
So anybody else have some oldie cowboy stuff that we could check out?
Enjoy
