So this isn't mine, although it's very tempting.  But I can't justify it right now, so I'm passing the ad along, as there's got to be somebody out there wanting to pick one up in good ol' .44 W.C.F.

On the SASS Wire:

"Winchester Sporter w/octagon 24" barrel 44-40 for sale.  It has the lightened lever safety/trigger return spring installed and lever wrap.  I've only put about 250 rounds through it.  It is missing a tang screw, but other than that is LNIB.  Asking $850, I'll cover shipping."

I assume it's a Miroku, although he doesn't mention that anywhere.  But it says Winchester, and I doubt it's antique, so...

The missing tang screw appears to be just a filler screw for a tang sight mounting hole.

Somebody buy it so I don't have to keep second-guessing myself!

A close look at the Tin Types causes me to agree, it's a pistol grip stocked Miroku.  Pretty good price for it too.

I know who bought it and he actually offered and paid even less though I don't know how much.  :)

Wow.  And I thought the .44-40s are harder to come by, too.  I guess the demand is smaller.

Come to think of it, the Miroku rifles aren't NCOWS legal if I recall right, which may have something to do with the small market especially for .44-40 rifles.
