This topic has been brought up before but, here is another example of a round barrel, 1/2 magazine that has the flat TD assembly with the locking tab. I haven’t figured out the trick to get a link from gunbroker to here with Windows 8 on this new computer but, if you would like to see the rifle it is GB # 407518749

Paul,
Here you go – http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=407518749
The grip cap is not original.

Nice looking gun, nice wood.
Yes, I was following this for awhile, searching out TD rifles with shorter than standard magtubes that had the flatlever – unscallaoped – TD lever with cam that fits into the underside of the barrel. A pile of them out there. I was noting all I was seeing online, auctions, etc, all I had come across were fairly low serial numbers, most under the 70,000 s/n range if I recall correctly. Obviously this was used on FM rifles, but seems this type was also used on early TD rifles.

Looks like a very nice gun but I question the value of the Scabbard $3000.00 😯 Might just have to go have a look at this gun as the seller is just down the road.
A $3,000 scabbard?? I’d like to hear your thoughts on that as well. Nice gun, it does have nice wood. Sure, 3X, but not 4X I don’t think. I think when you get into 4 and 5X you are getting into exhibition grade wood and guns.
Keep us posted Brian if you go to look at it.

Matt74So is that a factory notch on the underside of the barrel? I’ve never heard of that?
Looks correct to me. The only thing I see "wrong" with the gun – is as Bert pointed out – is the replacement grip cap. The flat unscalloped TD lever and cam on this gun is consistent with a pile of them I have seen with early serial numbers, and this one has an early s/n as well. I should go back and find the notes I took. I compiled a huge list of them. Maybe a good survey for me to do.

Sorry guys couldn’t get down to the see the ’94 TD. I’m in the middle of a move and just couldn’t get time to try and find this guy. By the looks of what he has listed on GB, he gets some pretty nice guns. I have never seen this type of end cap either but has we have been finding out lately there are some strange Winchesters that a lot of us haven’t seen before. I expect that this gun will get some serious bidding close to the end.
Here is another one for you. There ia a member of WACA that has an octagon ELW so maybe he will chime in again.

Agreed ❗

I almost missed your comment there Bert. I will have to take a look and see where I put that list, and when I get some free time, I’ll start my search again and post results down the road. Might have to wait a bit, this new born is keeping me busy on this end right now!
