I have always kept an eye out for a 73 in 22 long. I had one once but it had such a bad bore, I couldn't hit a milk jug at 25 feet. I did find a nice 73 in 22 long the other day and I paid dearly for it. It is a good looking gun and has a shiny bore! I need some 22 long ammo for it...










I never considered myself a failure...I started out at the bottom and happen to like it here!

Shrapnel,
Very nice! ;D  Neat example of Winchester history!  As you probably know CCI makes both CCI Long CB's and regular .22 Longs.
If you can't find any, I have some I can spare.  Also have some primed .22 rimfire cases and .22 Short / Long bullets and you can load them with b.p.  ;D

Beautiful rifle, thanks for sharing.

I would hate to need the right side cover plate for one on those, it would be llike looking for chicken teeth.

Yes, I would be very interested in some 22 long ammo, not the CB longs but regular 22 long. let me know how much you have and what you would want for it...

Thanks, Shrapnel

You know, Shrapnel, whenever you show off one of your guns, I always want to say what great taste you have--I'd love to see the full collection some day.  I rarely respond to the posts, though because I am simply too stunned :o.  Thanks for all of the pictures!
