Hi Lee!

I guess I should have clarified what the photo of those Navies w/shoulder stocks were. Both guns are 3-screw frames with no recoil shield cuts. The 1st gun has a London Model blued steel TG and the 2nd gun has a 3rd Model brass TG. Both TGs had the factory sling swivel. The stocks were prototypes as the backstraps of both guns had a milled slot in the middle to accommodate the "hook" for the stock. It did not prove viable due to some wiggle when installed on the gun(s).

Colt went with the 3rd type and patented it, and that is the type shown in the "Forgotten Weapons" video as well as the James D. Julia auction, that utilized a 4-screw frame with the recoil shield cuts.

That is the same design (Pietta) used for replica 1860 Army .44 guns with the 4-screw/RS cuts these days.

I dropped my jaw when I saw the Julia cased model! Absolutely gorgeous!

Some folks just have more money than they know what to do with. $506K plus auction percentage. Wow!

Regards,

Jim

That is why I posted it......I about fell off the chair when I glanced to the top right and saw the $ amount.....”Oh My Lord”

Could be a very expensive hobby for some.......not me!
Worked too long and hard for mine.

According to Winchester, these lever actions are made by Miroku in Japan.
Their website says that for other Winchester guns, the barrel inscription will indicate where it was made.--->>> http://www.winchesterguns.com/support/faq/where-are-winchester-firearms-manufactured.html

[The barrel inscription reads--->>>] ""Made by Miroku - Japan - - Imported by BACO, Inc. - Morgan, Utah." All our Historic Lever Actions are made at our Miroku, Japan factory.
BACO is our sister company used for importing Winchester firearms from our worldwide factories.
The final ownership of the Winchester name is still in possession of the Olin Corporation."

I can’t wait to see what we do next.”

As noted on other side of barrel
