    You have some lovely guns John, I’ve always craved an 1887. Is the 1866 original or a replica?
    More meplat, more better.

    1866 is a Uberti 44/40 little bighorn
    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.

    Here are my current two; I’ve had Winchesters, Savages and Rossis, it’s hard to go past the antique Winchesters.

    A 1912 manufacture 1892 rifle in 44WCF and a 1908 manufacture 1894 rifle in 25/35WCF:
