So old S&W, I take that as a large frame break top? Taffin got giddy with their discussion. I don’t remember handling one. They look awkward, but I could see the speed of ejection and unobstructed reloading. The hammer looks a mile from your thumb.
Old Winchester Levergun….. ‘92, ‘94, ‘86 (you had a 71 in .348), or 1895?
I’d like to play with a ‘95. I’ve had or own later versions of the rest. The ‘86 I had was a modern .45-90, a beast! The 1895’s were used in several expeditions under harsh conditions. I only read of Kermit Roosevelt’s failing him (I think). Not sure if it was a .30-06 or .30-03? Several listings just say .30 Govt., .30-40 Krag?!
