Looks like crap. Finish is pretty much all gone, and there is a piece on the bottom that doesn't even match the rest of the receiver. Junk parts gun.
J/k, looks awesome. Love the old lever guns. |

i can recommend a great place to get it cerakote.
also a a new lightweight synthetic stock and that would be a great shooter. i would probably re-barrel it into something better like 30-30. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I was under the impression that if it was made before 1899 it wouldn't be considered a SBR under the NFA. I don't know how that works if one were to chop a pre-1899 gun today though. I seem to recall some really short shotguns, both doubles and a few Winchester pump guns, as well. All pointless, because someone would skin you alive if you hacked that fine levergun...

My understanding is if it shipped from the factory, and is on the grandfathered list, it's exempt. Chopping an antique would be pretty pointless, as you'd lose most of the advantages of antique status, and have to pay $200. If you're going to SBR a levergun, might as well use a modern Title 1 gun. |

Beautiful rifle, OP.
Now you need a matching original Winchester reloading tool and mold set. I found one on eBay for my .44 WCF Cimarron Uberti 1873 Sporting Rifle. The Winchester Model 1882 tool was made from 1882 up until 1914. They were made in .44-40 WCF, .38-40 WCF, and .32-20 WCF, and I think some other calibers.
  Before pan lubing:  Or, you can get an Ideal Number 6, which integrates the mold with the loading tool. Found this one at a gun show.  I shot 50 rounds of black powder .44-40 WCFs through my Uberti '73 yesterday. Unfortunately the bullets are a bit small for my bore so accuracy wasn't great, but the soft lead bullets lubed with a 50/50 beeswax/mutton tallow mix (plus a little canning paraffin) kept the fouling down. I needed only two wet patches (both sides) before the next patch came out clean. Charge was 35 grains of FFFg Swiss black powder, plus a Federal large pistol primer. |
