Very nice.. is that an entrance in the neck next to the spent brass?

Yes.

Good shooting 👍

I had an 1892 in 38-40 for a while, but the bore and throat were pretty rough, so it was never much better than a minute of paper plate shooter. Kind of threw my hopes for ever hunting with it out the window. I couldn't have dreamed of ever making a shot like that with mine
That's nice work with the old Winchester!

Making it do what it was designed to do!

Thanks for Sharing!

Congrats!

How long is the barrel on the 44-40? Looks like you could have stuck it out and tripped the deer.
Congratulations, well done

Nice! Love to see those vintage Winchesters gettin' it done! So far I haven't pulled the trigger on my old .38-55 yet, but there's more season left
Good shot.
Thats great using an old rifle to it like they use to do.

Cool ! nothing like taking game with open sights and 100+ year old rifles.
Atta Boy Clarkm! Gotta love it.
