Now how's it work? Looks like a little Richards-Mason conversion job to me, but sans ejector rod AND loading gate???
My mind is totally blown. My nerves are shot and I need someone to explain to me how this gun is supposed to work! How do you load the dang thing?? Is it based off any historical model??
I love my Cimarrons but in my experience I'll bet on an original Winchester with a good bore left over a Uberti any day.My old Mdl.94 .30 WCF dates to 1958. I just like the Winchesters that were produced before 1964. I doubt they shoot any better. But then, I never throw away old boots even though they hurt my feet.

Yes, but some don't have the cheddar to afford the pricey Japanese Winchesters.
It's Goofy, man!! Not sure why he looks that way but I'm rockin' it for now.
Cowhide, I would agree. The Winchester/USA, will increase in value in time. I doubt the imported reproduction will ever be a collectors rifle.
whats sad right before Winchester shut down you could buy them much cheaper made here in the usa now made in japan they are extremely high!! I just don't get it!Cowhide, I would agree.

I would say that the Dragoons were still too large and the little .31's were too small. The 1851 Navy hit the sweet spot of size vs. power. In my opinion that was the breakthrough gun for Colt.
Buffalo hunting from trains was a sport created by the rail roads. The Buffalo shooting from trains lasted until after 1886. No one threw their rifles away such as take downs and rifles that could be placed in luggage. Train tours to the West for hunters was popular until WWII. Many lodges along the UPRR offered Deer, Antelope, Pheasant hunts until the 1950s.
Looking at the video, it appears that the frame is cut away on the right side (an enlarged capping notch) to allow loading. But without a loading gate, what would keep the rounds from backing out? Maybe they figure that the gun's recoil would tend to keep the rounds in the cylinder? As for ejecting the empties, you would have to use some sort of dowel to knock them out through the loading notch. Or, disassemble the gun Paterson-style. This is still probably a work in progress, and they are showing a prototype with a lot of redesign left before it goes to market.Now how's it work?

Actually, it is quite historically accurate.Now how's it work? Looks like a little Richards-Mason conversion job to me, but sans ejector rod AND loading gate???
