my new toys

Post by hondo1892 »

Thought I would post the photo now that I learned. The two lever guns were aquired this year. An 1894 32-40 made about 1920 and a Uberti in 45-60. The 45-60 is one of the funest guns I have. The flinter is my daughters favorite deer rifle. She took her first deer with it at age thirteen. :D Her other is a Winchester 64.Image

I bought the flinter for myself and I got my daughter started shooting it. Then she started calling it her rifle. So dad had to go and get himself another one. :lol:

Gotta say you've have some purty rifles there. Interesting though, you must have some steep hills with the way that tree is growing horizontal. :D

Very nice toys. I like all of them. I'm really torn between the flinter and the '76. I really want a '76 in 45/60, just haven't gotten the funds up yet.

That '76 really caught my eye as an original has eluded me all my life. Its the only model from the '66 on I have never been able to snag.
Yours has really nice wood on it too. Can I have it? :D ----------Sixgun

C. Cash the barrel on the flinter is 38" and its a swamped barrel also. A very light and well ballanced rifle. Mine has a 45" barrel on it and is almost as light. :D Sorry it took so long for me to reply but I've been out of town.
