So, I'd like to purchase an original 1873 Winchester. I know what I'm looking for at least.
3rd model
Rifle model
full octagon barrel
full magazine
color case receiver
caliber not really a big deal either 44 or 38 I guess
So where should I start looking? Store, the web or a gun show? I'd like one all original and very clean. Maybe down the road it would go to Turnbull. If it came with a Cody letter even better. I have the Winchester book I need to start reading it. Any advice would be great. Thanks
