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

Hi Mark and Happy New Year. Let's raise a glass to the past year and best of luck for what will come our way in the next 365. ......Doc

@@dr.durellshepard398 Thank you, Doctor - All the very best for 2024!

Hello Mr. Snapper, and thanks so much for the kind wishes. We had a great Christmas, there was home made Pie ! The turtles are sleeping now but I will honor your sentiment this Spring, Regards....Doc

Hello Sir, and thanks for the New Years greeting. Wishing you a healthy and pleasant 365 days ahead ! I do love the wood on that gun. The figure and checkering are both top shelf. Regards.....Doc

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

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

Hi Chris, Wow ! 577 is BIG. Wishing you all the best in the 365 to come, and thanks for your support this last year....Doc

Thanks so much, glad you found the presentation of interest........Doc

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

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

Hello again Chris, Glad you tuned in for this Browning / Winchester. She does have nice lines, the low-walls do. Sincere wishes to you and your family also. Happy shooting in the coming year.......Regards....Doc P.S. Mr. Browning is doing well in Heaven , you know there is no cross-wind up there !

Kjære Mister Loken, beste ønsker for høytiden til deg og din familie. Beklager at blokken din ble sprukket, da de er en stor rifle å skyte. Og takk for all støtte det siste året. fra legen.

Good morning "Just", and thanks for your continued support of the channel. Best wishes to you and your family for the coming year. Did you acquire the Warner you were looking at ? Those are good looking guns. Best regards.....Doc

Good evening GP, and I want to express my gratitude for your support of the channel in the past year. I do look to your videos as inspiration. I recently pulled my .50-70 Sharps carbine out of the vault and shot it. Best Regards....Doc

@@dr.durellshepard398 I'm glad you got inspired to pull the ol' Sharps carbine out and dust it off. I'm a fan of your channel. You present a lot of first hand information in a clear and entertaining way. I always look forward to what Doc will pull out of the vault next. Happy New Year Gp

Thank you Juan, for the kind comment. Glad that you enjoyed the video. ....Doc
