New 1866 SRC

I have been chasing a few Winchesters around for several years and finally got one. He has some nice old stuff, but we haven't been able to complete a deal other than this 1866. It was made in 1885 and is in real good condition. This is a late model in centerfire and i should be able to get this gun shooting...

Hello Kirk,
I have a Winchester Model 1892 { Take Down } in .25 - 20 WCF Calibre. The rifle was a special order for England Gt. Britain with round barrel and shotgun style steel butt - plate. The rifle was made in 1895 and is stocked in Walnut. After 1900 Winchester used Gum wood on their lever - action rifles as there was a shortage of walnut at that time. If you look at the heading 6,3 X33R you will see photo's of this rifle along with my Sako L46 - 6,3 X 33 R.

I see them. I have tons of Winchester’s and Sakos, but no 25-20’s. I keep hoping someday I can get a 25-20 that isn’t a wreck...

Hello Kirk,

I just lucked onto my 1892, .25 - 20 WCF It had slept in a safe for 30 years. I know alot of people like the octangle barrel, but I like the round barrel. Half & half is quite nice as well. The rifling is crisp and no looseness in the action. She shoots lovely with a distintive " POP ". The problem we have in England UK is the lack of ammunition! When I purchased the rifle I was lucky enough to inherit 200 rounds of Remington 86 g. Also the bloke I purchased the rifle from had all the RCBS re - loading equipment.
