This picture is probably at least 5 years old and I have added a few more originals since then.

The display was basically present an example or two of all of the main lever guns that Winchester ever made. All but 3 are Winchester--some original and some Miroku. The two brass frames and the 76 centennial are Italian clones since the original versions of those are a bit beyond my budget. I generally don't buy any antique that I can't take out and shoot occasionally.

Front to back: (1) 1860 Henry (Italian),(2) 1866 Yellowboy (Italian).(3) 1873 short rifle (Miroku).(4)1873 sporting rifle(original), (5)1876 in 45-60 (Italian), (6) 1886 in 45-70 (Miroku), (7) 1892 in 32-20 (original),(8) 1894 from 1915 (original), (9) 1894 from 2006 (last year of US production), (10) 1895 takedown in 30-06 (Miroku)

Very nice, Gosh you can not at complain about the condition of that rifle. That is very very clean.

That's a fantastic looking Krag you've got there! Still in great shape! Mine was an old veterans service organization parade rifle that was bright chrome plated and had a thick coat of varnish on the stock. I stripped off the plating, gently sanded the stock, refinished it, and had the metal parts reblued. Turned out fairly decent but I still need to get a sling for it!

It came out looking real good.
 
This a.m.,finishing coffee and heading to the woods with the Dobe.

'16 CDL 30-06,heavy varmint rig loaded to just below starting JB velocity. 309-150 Lee backed by a lot of Varget. 4-12 5star Redfield that is a real beauty. Along with my best buddy Commander, in 45acp a 185g Lyman sumthin or other, backed by enough 700X to get to 700fps. This gun has had some serious smithing done to it,ported,and a 3.25# trigger..... feeds very sharp SWC like butta. Colt slide,Caspian frame.... thinks itself a BE rig?

A fine duo to be headin' out to the woods with! Especially like the custom Commander you've got there!

Picked up this Tikka T3 CTR recently. I was originally looking for a Gunsite Scout but found this for around the same price. Topped it with a Leupold Mark AR 1.5-4X20mm scope that I had on hand...might not have been my first choice, but its light weight, generous eye relief and illuminated reticle makes it a pretty good fit for the rifle.
