Didn't know where else to post this, picked a hi wall at LGS. Double triggers 45-70 32in bbl octagon. Will be shooting black or substitute only(just because) Overall very good finish. trigger tune up as they are a little gritty, rear trigger is alittle hard to set. Front one can only be used if set by rear one. One heavy gun, Can't wait to shoot it!

Winchester Hi Wall
Really nice to find a Hi Wall that you can shoot, Winchester made nice double set triggers
too. I found an action with double set triggers and a coil hammer spring in Detroit and a
Darr extra heavy 32-40 barrel in Calif. Also bought a Hoch nose pour mould of the correct
diameter so that you don't need to size the bullets. Bullets are breech seated into the barrel
and you use a single 32-40 case each time DSCN1541.jpgDSCN1538.jpgP1010056_0046.jpgP1010057_0047.jpg -
If you have an original Winchester barrel, without scope block holes, i don't think I
would drill new holes. Alot of tang sights available now, Years ago I made a tang
sight for a heavy barreled Remington rolling block in 45-70, used black powder and
either 405 gr or 500 gr lead bulletsComment
