All I could really find of interest so far..............

I would do more research into it and see if it has collector value before shooting it.

Don't hesitate to shoot it. Just because it has a fancy finish doesn't mean you can't use it. Don't forget that even British "best" quality guns are intended to be used.

Do what ever makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside with it, short of destroying it.

Shoot it!? Hell, rebarrel it to 450 alaskan and have the best lever gun ever devised.

That is a beautiful rifle. Take it out and shoot it for sure.

if I wasn't going to shoot one of my guns. i'd take a pic of it and sell it. it would do me just as much good. SHOOT THAT THING!!!

Someone beat me to it, I'd shoot it, and get it converted to one of the Alaskan Cals. preferably the .50, or the .475 Linebaugh.

Agreed, but shoot it as is. Nothing shabby about the 348 WCF. Now, for a 50, here's an option I'm looking at, and as a cartridge match for my S&W. How about the Big Horn Armory model 89 rifle, in 500 S&W?
