Winchester 1873 Saddle Ring Carbine, Light Restoration

This carbine has been in our family for generations. It was in poor condition and the action would not cycle without manual assistance. With encouragement and advice from Roy Huntington of GUNS and American Handgunner magazines, I completed a light restoration and returned it to working order.

Makes me wonder what those etchings at 19 seconds really stand for. Old rifles got history for sure.
