Winchester Lever Action Repeating Fireams Vol. 1

By Arthur Pirkle. The first new book in nearly twenty-five years to describe early Winchester repeating rifles and carbines. Examines these famous firearms on a part-by part basis by serial number range. This format allows the collector to quickly determine whether or not a particular firearm is original and authentic in all respects. In addition to a descriptive breakdown of the famous Models of 1866, 1873, and 1876, the author has identified parts used in common between the three models. Also included are several valuable appendices which include: serial numbers compiled by U.S. Repeating Arms Company; a description of Winchester cartridges for the three models and a nearly complete listing of North West Mounted Police Model 1876 Carbines. ISBN 9781882391059
