Thanks Bill for checking your model 50 and confirming its buttplate as the straight winchester logo as that is what I will look for.
My gun is no where near collector grade it is a shooter and the recoil pad installed on it was clearly installed by someone that does not do this for a living.
If anyone happens to have a pad for sale please let me know.
Thanks and good shooting!
Ken

I found the one in my stock that should match....no guarantee it would tmeed some hand fitting. I can't remember where I got it but it was for a project gun that never happened. I can take measurements if you need. Jeremy

I'm bringing my serious camera to photograph the shooting of your 1873.

LOL I just saw these two posts. I'll accept your 375 firing and raise you one 1873 firing with a video. You can use my phone to video since I also owe a video to someone at Wyoming Armory!

I had a feeling once. Couldn't get nothing for it so I dropped it in the Goodwill bin. Don't worry, those clueless kids will be back soon to keep your underlings too busy to stir up stuff...maybe.

Is it Christmas yet?

Check the OAT.

Yes, these guns have gone wanting on published research for far too long. The 50-70 year old long of barrel and tight of choke shotguns tend to go wanting in the sale department. Consider shortening up that old 30 inch gun and screw choking it. All in cost buying a decent gun and having the work done would be in the 5-600 dollar neighborhood. Sure you can buy a new 12 gauge pump cheaper, but not better.

You can be first to shoot my 375 Friday. As a consolation.

I have that problem and I am not working (at least, not getting paid for it. )

I definitely left off a step.

Sorry for the delay. Let me know if you'd like to see anything else.

I know I have one spare, just need to look at what style it is tonight. Please quote me here to remind if I don't answer back.

21 bucks for the takedown gun
12 bucks for another barrel
I would assume take down was a requirement for Addl. barrels. Given a solid frame gun was only 16, 4 dollars more bought an entire gun.
Now we know why 2 and 3 barrel sets are not often seen.

I understand you're point, but in today's money, $16.00=$579.72, and $21.00=$708.38, in today's dollars!

Just saying! It doesn't sound like much today, until we look at the comparison! IMO!
