Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters New old guns?

About 6 years ago I was at a gun show with some of my Winchesters on display and a guy came up and asked if I could evaluate some of his guns he was considering selling. I told him I would and he actually came back with a bunch of old Winchesters, Sharps and other 19th century long guns.

He told me he was considering the sale of these guns in an effort to return the ranch he grew up on as a kid. We stayed in touch for the next few years and he finally told me that he was prepared to sell a couple. I looked at this carbine and an original Henry that was made in 1861.

He brought them to my house last week and we couldn’t put a price on the Henry, but he said he would sell the 1866. I bought it and now wait to see what he decides about the Henry...
