Finally got this fish in the boat after three weeks waiting and....seriously.....two and a half hours of paperwork and firearm safety course. As a simple boy from Idaho, I just have a hard time understanding some things.
The build quality is just as high as they say. Excellent fit and finish, smooth action....beyond expectations. Bluing is like nothing I have ever seen. Not blotchy like the rest. Those bright-metal rectangles atop the receiver thingie are pins. Apparently the action on this thing is designed to not fail. There never was a weak point in these 1892s but if there were, it has been fixed. Here she is cleaned, oiled and ready for range time. Can't wait.
