Very nice rifle and great price!
 
Thanks Dave. I've owned a couple different calibers of them but this is the nicest I have found.
 
The 38/55 is such a nice round to shoot. Decent ballistics for an 1800's round, lower recoil and accurate. Some one will get a great rifle.
 
Nice rifle and set up.

I have a 38-55 in a Winchester commemorative lever gun.

When was this rifle produced?

It makes a difference as to whether the rifle is meant for black powder only, black powder and smokeless powder, or smokeless powder.

Hallo, ein Freund von mir lebt auf einer Farm in den Rocky Mountains.
Leider kam es dort in den letzten Wochen zu Bränden.
Hoffe es geht dir gut!?
