Well, the camera did get broken at the Lake last weekend said my pal.
Anyway, he updated me on some info. He said he found an old article talking about how Winchester had an ".06" stamp break and tried to modify a ".03" stamp to work. He said he put a magnifying glass to it and said you could tell there was a faint outline that looked like a "6", but was not seeable with the naked eye. According to him the barrel hasn't been refinished. He didn't tell me what/if the markings were on the bottom side of the barrel so hopefully will get that info soon.
I did tell him he still ought to do a chamber cast just to see.
Hopefully I can see it in the near future to see what it looks like.
Therefore, breakout the tar and feathers, crow casserole or crow however you want to cook it, and flame throwers. I've got my asbestos suit on.
I'll go sit in the corner for a bit.
