      Hello Sir, and thanks so much for the kind comment. She was a special order with the fancy wood and fine checkering. She was also sold without sights as the original owner wanted to sit it up his way. Regards....Doc

    When I was forming the 25-20 cases I noticed there were two types. I was making the repeater cases. It's super cool you have the ss version and were able to share these to see them in action. Those pieces are beautiful and I'll bet a hoot to shoot.

      Hello ARM, When I got my first .25-20 rifle I was confused as I wasn't aware that there were two different cartridges with the same name. I almost purchased the incorrect cases and dies, so I wanted to point that out. Both versions of the ..25-20 (and the .22 WCF, another favorite of mine) are great little rounds. ....Doc

    Спасибо за новое видео! Честно говоря поразила простота и функциональность отсоединения ствола на 6-й минуте по трекеру. Это же близкая к идеалу конструкция сменного ствола для автоматического оружия, странно что в современных моделях не используется такая простая схема 😎

      Добрый вечер, сэр, спасибо за комментарии. Изучив дизайн огнестрельного оружия в течение многих лет, я обнаружил, что в нем нет ничего нового, каждая функция использовалась снова и снова. Я знаю, что каждому поколению нравится придумывать для себя одно и то же и вешать на это свое имя. Все хорошо. Наилучшие пожелания в Новом году. Врач

    That is a gorgeous rifle Doc! As you know, I'm a big fan of the .25s. I don't own any scoped rifles. But with my aging eyes, I need to start looking. I'd love to find one like that. Thanks for the inspiration!

    • @dr.durellshepard398
      @dr.durellshepard398  Před 7 měsíci

      Hi Steve, and Happy New Year, 365 more for happy shooting ! Yes, .25s had a great following back in the day, I guess it's up to you and I to bring them back to the fore-front. The scopes really help my poor eyesight but, I always loved a period scope on the appropriate rifle. The old scopes have their own cherished history with their periodic advances just as the guns themselves. I also find the evolution of the mounts fascinating. Best regards....Doc

    A really nice rifle with wonderful wood, this looks like a very nice caliber rifle for just shooting in the garden, my 1885 was in 577 so it was a bit much for doing that. Enjoy your Christmas, and a Happy New Year, many thanks for all of the excellent videos you have posted. Chris B.

    Another lovely single shot rifle! I used to have a Winchester like that, also made in the late 1880s. Can't remember the caliber, but I think it was a 32. May even have been a rimfire. Never shot it. The block was cracked, for some reason. Enjoy the rest of the Christmas holiday, and have a Happy New Year!

    Hi Doc! Wow another neat old Winchester 1885 in fine shape. I am a fan of the 1885's. That one you have sure looks like a shooter. I also like the fine front post in the globe front sight. Keep making the fun video's, I always learn something! Happy New Year, and take care. P.S. No snow here yet in Minnesota, so the shooting season has been longer.

      Hi Dave, Hope this finds you well, we are doing fine so far this winter. It gets cold but warms up when a storm comes in, so we have been getting a lot of cold rain. 1885s, in all their configurations, sure are an interesting lot. The factory letter says it left the factory with out any sights, so I'm not sure who set it up but they did a good job of it. Both are vintage Lyman's. Best regards.....Doc
