This pic was posted over on GD and I was wondering about the Winchester. This was outlaw Ned Christie and that rifle of his is housed at the Fort Smith National Historical Site.

Anything you can tell us about 1873 serial 264933?

I'm aware of the story of Christie. I was able to obtain the serial number, so it's details of his rifle I'm curious about.

Hi Bert--I have a question about this Winchester I've owned for a while--you helped me with the serial number before(I couldn't tell if the first digits were 1's or upsidedown 7's or L's)--I don't belive the stock is the original one as it is different colored than the forearm and it is a carbine stock--I know a few rifles came with carbine stocks, but I just doubt this one. What do you think? It's a decent shooter and I baby it with light loads-paid $375 for it at an estate sale back in 1997.

I'd like to pick your brain Bert . Can you tell me if the 12 Ga. Model 12 , and the 16 Ga. are built on the same frame ? The reason I ask , is because we'd like to have a butt stock to shorten , to make the old 16 , fit my 8 year old Grandson ! He did Manage to bag his first Turkey with it this weekend though , as is .

Thanks for you time sir !

Bert;
Need an education on a Winchester model 94 in 356 Winchester. Years made? An oddity to collect? Relative worth? Have a buddy at the shop wanting me to take it off his hands for a song and a prayer along with two boxes of ammo. Your advice is always greatly appreciated.

No, they are not the same size. The 16/20/28 gauge guns all share the same receiver frame, with the 12-gauge being the larger sibling.
