	Just thought I'd share with y'all the following composite photo of 6 of the recent Miroku manufactured Winchester M1885 BPCRs in caliber 50-90 Sharps. A potential buyer wanted to get a feel for the quality of wood on the rifles. I’ve sold 6 so far. The last one on the bottom is the one I currently have for sale. The case colors on the 3rd one down is typical. Since I was focusing on the wood, it's hard to tell what the case colors actually look like on the rest due to the reflected light. The rifles have 30" 1/2 octagon 1/2 round heavy Badger barrels with a 1:26 twist. Wayne (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	Quality certainly is there!! Do they have a left-hand stock option? What other calibers available? Ebony insert in fore-end tip and grip like WRA Co.?

	John, There were only 126 rifles made as a result of an exclusive deal between Win. & Davidson's (distributor). Since there's not a big demand for the 50-90 Sharps caliber in a 11 lb rifle, Winchester does not plan to make any more. All are configured exactly the same with: 30" 1/2 round 1/2 octagon heavy Badger barrels 50-90 Sharps with 1:26 twist No sights but have dovetail at muzzle and tang is drilled and tapped Matte blued barrel Cased-colored receiver Cased-colored grip cap Cased-colored Winchester-style checkered butt plate Right-hand stock Drill & tapped for modern scope bases Stock through bolt The MSRP is $2,226.56, but the current "market price" is around $1,100 to $1,200.
