Nice looking M-1. Do you keep the .45 cocked and locked?
Of course, as it was designed to be.
The M1 is a CMP Special grade. Basically, when all of the rifles with good barrels were gone they started putting Criterion match barrels on them. Also new wood and parkerizing. It's a good shooter. 2moa with gi ball ammo.

One thing I like on my flint rifles beside their feel on the shoulder is the set trigger. The rifle can be fired with the from trigger alone or the rear trigger can be pulled to move the front trigger into the "set position. When the front tigger is set it becomes a hair trigger. Great for offhand shooting. Morgan's Riflemen in the Revolutionary War were shooting British officers off their horses a 200 yards with long rifles.

I have a couple around here somewhere. Here's one of my favorites. It's a Winchester Model 1873 that was made in 1874, so next year it will be 150 years old. It was special ordered with a case colored receiver and single set trigger. The serial number is 4 digits under 2000 so it's a first model with the raised thumbprint dust cover.

Very nice! Never let that go. And make sure the wife and kids know how special and expensive it is.

Yes, it's 44-40. On most Model 1873 you will see a caliber marking on the cartridge lifter like "38 Cal" in a flowing script, but on these early 1873s they did not mark it 44 cal as they were all 44 caliber.
If he thinks like I think, it’s not you entrapping us to post pictures as much as it is me posting a dissenting opinion about the government years in the future, and pictures in this thread getting me added to a no fly list or similar.

This thread has really just turned into a series of sad stories. I can’t believe how many of us have lost all our firearms in tragic boating accidents.

That is why I now have only one target rifle

Bought it cause we needed a target gun.
Oh and for those who say its so easy to get a gun, I was denied, had to appeal and it took almost 3 weeks. I have no record for anything and buying a 22 was a chore.

To this day I can not tell you why, but every time I went to purchase a gun, my background check would come back as provisional. Which didn't mean no, but the feds could come back within 72 hours and say give it back.
Big bucks stores would not release it.
At the time I was honorably retired from the Army, was working for DoD in a position that required a Top Secret Clearance. I went to the FBI and was issued a UPIN, since then there has never been an issue.

I am probably going to have to get a UPIN. The gun store I go to said it would make things easier.

It was either that, as yes same last name prohibited, or, my position working closely with movement of a 4 Star Combatant Commander was being monitored. Or, who knows, they would not tell me.

I have not had an issue since getting the UPIN. When I purchased that rifle last week, background came back approved almost instantly. It's free, go for it.

I lost all of mine off a fishing boat one day. When the feds come for them someday they'll have nothing to take sadly 😉
Cigars are great and so is this

I picked these babies up a few years ago for a really sweet deal…and I’ve got a few put away that Mr. ATFman doesn’t need to know about.
@Brokegunner - .44-40 ?
