Probably not worthy of adding a premium to the price but still pretty cool in my opinion.

Years ago, I saw a Colt single action that had been found sitting on top of a rock in Alder Gulch at Virginia City, Montana. Gun was covered with rust, but all serial numbers were very legible. It was 111111.

That Colt would have been a very neat companion to the Winchester carbine under discussion.

I agree. This carbine is a few grades below my taste.

Long time ago. Values have since caught up with what I paid. BTW, I just bought a nice 2nd Model S&W 44 HE. Not as nice as my 38-44 Outdoorsman, but really nice. Thanks Bill. Big Larry USMCR

I’ll bet you will never fire it! I always liked the .22 Jet cartridge because it looked so cool. It certainly is different. I’ve read it’s a bear to reload for. I also seem to recall there were some issues with the cylinder binding – which I believe was related to the shape of the cartridge. I can’t recall how long it’s been since I’ve seen a box of .22 Jet on a retail store shelf. I’m also recalling some of these had a .22 rimfire auxiliary cylinder.
