1886 EL's

Post by 3leggedturtle »

Were the EL's ever made with an octagon barrel. Would like to know if they were made that way from start of production to the end of reproduction models?

Thanks for the answer. I did see barely used Miroku EL for $1100. Was/is that a decent deal?

I paid $950 for my new Grade I Winchester/Miroku M86 EL, and $1050 for my new Grade II Winchester/Miroku M86 EL - but that was 5-6 years ago.

The way I feel about gun price tags is: If I like the gun, I do whatever it takes to acquire it {plastic/whatever), since money is only green paper - I can always get some more, somewhere/someway/somehow.

Once yer under the grass, NOTHIN' will concern ya ! ;)

Now that is funny!

I have told my wife the same thing for the past 35 years :lol: And believe it or not, she agrees... :o
