Winchester 73

[JKR]

Yes. I’ve only removed the side plates so far. There’s a hundred years of dried up gunk in there. I’ll get farther into it next week.
There is no spring feel when the trigger is pushed ahead which leads me to believe the set trigger spring may be broken or missing. This is all speculation at this point.
I will slug the bore and do a cast after I get things cleaned up.
I’m not seeing any brass available anywhere so it may be good long while before I can shoot it. Right now it’s just the project I need for these cold winter days.
