Re: OT - What is a trophy?

Davidsons Winchester 1892 takedown ?
They have the 24" barrel in 45LC on sale. Anybody have one? Now that NKJ welds up the tang safety and maybe replaces the rebounding hammer ,he posted he does the 1886, maybe it's time I bought my first Winchester lever. What do you think!!!

Now ,for now, I have all the Marlin's I want. So, I now have a itch for a 1886 Browning rifle. Browning because of the lack of tang safety and rebounding hammer.
