1894 Winchester, 38-55 - 11/25/22
Picked up this Winchester in 38-55 at last weeks gunshow. Have been looking for a Winchester or Marlin in 38-55 for awhile now . Found this one that has been bubba'd, but was looking for a shooter grade anyway.
What and why is this pin, rivet, whatever for ? Also wondering what the correct rear sight would be for this one ?
Good news it has a decent bore, and chambers and ejects fine. Date of MFG is 1898.
Also, rifle is mostly silver, is there anything I could use on the metal to give it a brown, patina look ?
Looking forward to firing it !
