Can't tell if trolling or just obtuse in a mentally undeveloped manner. It's ok if your getting your parts from Billy Bob's Auto Mechanic, Donut and Silencer Shop. I'm sure he's a legit DoD supplier.
It's not marked 27 on the yoke - it's not marked 27 anywhere. After some searching last night, the serial Number S117186 seems to be from a batch of post-war N-frames made in '54 or '55. Which is neat.
I called Winchester today and they confirmed the serial number to be from 1903. They couldn't provide any other useful information on it, other than it had certainly been rebarreled and that is most likely started life as a 32-20 or a 38-40. They said I could call the Cody(?) Archive and...
Ok, so googling the SN says the receiver is from 1903. So it's been rechambered to .357 and probably reblued, since the blueing looks so nice. Is there anyway to tell what it was originally chambered in?
It's got a few little rust spots on the receiver and barrel, but it functions very well. I've got an 18" steel plate hung at about 70 yards out there and I missed it twice in 60 shots, no rest and I'm mediocre at best with long guns. I think I shot better with the lever gun than I did with my AR.
So I went up to my great aunt's this past holiday, to visit family and take advantage of some open spaces to do some shooting. While I'm there, she pulls this out of the closet and tells me I'm welcome to shoot it -it hasn't seen daylight in ages. In the same rifle case was what I think is a...

I find it amusing that people posted in the thread what the voted for in the poll. I'm guessing most just don't know what a poll is. The education system in this country is apparently further gone than I had thought.
I've got a 2010 F-150 XLT 4x4 that I just love. Mileage tanked when I put the leveling kit on it, with slightly larger tires - 33" terra grapplers. Went from 14/20 to 12/17.
Sync is the best damn thing since sliced bread though. Best thing to come out of microsoft in ages.
Random fact - this is Hitoshi Matsumoto and Masatoshi Hamada of the Japanese comedy duo Downtown. If you ever want to watch 5 comedians get beat with giant rubber bats by guys in gimp suits every time they laugh, look them up!
