This gun is #8,XXX making it a very early 2nd year of production gun and 134 years old. Needs a good cleaning then plan to shoot it.

I found it (and a couple of my other guns) on TexasGunTrader. There is a Model 1901 Winchester 10g on there for sale. That was the gun that replaced the 1887. It’s been reblued and rebarreled for I think $1600 Originally Posted by Sneaky I believe in science and I’m an insufferable [censored] Originally Posted by beaversnipe Actually, BBC is pretty damn good "You Cannot Simultaneously Be Politically Correct And Intellectually Honest!"

I’m planning on turkey hunting with it this spring then “hopefully” be able to do a hanging dead turkey mount with it. Kinda like this but different if you know what I mean. Tree or post with turkey, gun, and a couple of brass shells… Originally Posted by Sneaky I believe in science and I’m an insufferable [censored] Originally Posted by beaversnipe Actually, BBC is pretty damn good "You Cannot Simultaneously Be Politically Correct And Intellectually Honest!"
