I asked Mark yesterday if he found any factory markings on the tang and butt stock after the rifle was disassembled. He told me that there were the typical assembly numbers as well as XXX and an S. Fancy wood and the shotgun butt appear to be original to the rifle.

No updates on the Hotchkiss. I spoke with Keith at Wyoming Armory last week to ask a couple questions regarding a Remington Rolling Block project that I’m working on. Still waiting on the new barrel.

Just checked in on this thread and I was surprised to see that it has over 8,000 views! Still waiting for work to start on this rifle.

I should correct my previous post. Mark and his shop have started on my rifle. We are currently waiting for the completed contoured barrel blank in order to move forward.

I received my official letter on the Winchester Hotchkiss from Cody this week. It will be a nice compliment to the rifle.
Mark contacted me last month about the rifle. He filled me in on how difficult it has been to get the proper barrel blank made for this project. He feels that we are getting closer to having the barrel blank ready.
Patience grasshopper!
