What i was thinking, this old peice could stand up to the low pressure loads

I think it would be safe.the british shoot damasius barrel shotguns all the time.however there guns are proved to be safe.I have read in a 1997 gun digest that the master of the proof house in England said he NEVER saw an american gun of whatever age fail proof.He said all american guns are over engineered because they do not have a proof house.Funny hugh? Oh my the way my grandfather owned one of the10ga 1901 models,so i'm not a stranger to this design.

just take a look at my profile albums and my grandfathers colt saa that may give you an answer. An think i once carried that old peice in a holster while herding the dumbest animals God ever let eat grass.

picked up a box of federal target load number eight shot muzzel vel. 1145, really thinking these will be safe to shoot. those that have fired shotguns this old what do you think?

fired about 12 rounds through it today, without a problem, really shoots and handels well, very accurate. This old wincheste is a keeper.

thanks

At least one of the gun's used in the movie, (there were several) was sold when Stembridge sold out through Dan Shea's Long Mountain Outfitters. I clearly remember his list, along with Scarface's "Little Friend".

hmm, lets see i all ready own the winchester 1887 lever, a black harley davidson, an actual t2 averix leather jacket, and the boots. it did cross my mind

Actualy these were done a few years ago, i think they look alot better without me in them.

nice jacket, rich, did it shrink or you got larger?

something i found while refinishing the stock, about three inchs of a different wood has been added to the butt of the stock. it apears to be made of pine. alot of work went in to fitting it. not something you see everyday, not sure i will be able to get them to ever match.

That is some length of pull....What year is the police bike.

Back in the 70's I hunted turkey's with a 1901, was only produced in 10g and could really reach out there.

Jerry, the 10 ga were smokeless and only made in the 1901 model, the recoil must have been feirce. i have fired this one with aa trap loads and you know when it goes off, i do plan on shooting it more once i get it all back together. i maybe fighting a loosing battle trying to get a older walnut finish to match a newer pine finish on the replaced part. thanks jerry for sharing that.

Collected lever action for a very long time. The 73 & 76 being my favorite of them all.

Here it is with a little bit of tlc and elbow grease, i think it turned out rather well
