Winchester pack carbine

[tjsudbury]

I just managed to score one of these, nib, in 44 mag, and havn't been able to find out much about them yet, other than they seem to be as scarce as hens teeth.

Beautifull little gun, 18 inch barrel, pistol grip, half mag, cross bolt saftey, and a very un Winchester looking rear sight.

Can anybody out there shed some light on these?

Looks Great! I think it is the first one that I ever seen! Nice catch!

 

[tjsudbury]

Any idea what the years of production were?

 

[Slooshark1]

Looks great and pretty handy to carry.

Cross bolt Safety appeared in 1992 at Serial 6,000,000 so sometime after that.

If you ever decide to sell it, I'll meet you at Denis's... I've been looking for a Win .44 for some time...

That's where I got it from.



Here it is again, along with it's twin in 30-30 and it's big brother Timber Carbine in 450 Marlin

Looks awesome!!!..... except for that safety.

Nice group of rifles.

Yea, the safety sucks. The two pack carbines have cross bolt safety's and the timber carbine has a tang safety

How much did Denis let you take that one for?

A few pics and description I got 4u from gunauction site - shows same sight I think.

Beautiful line up guns you have there. I have always wanted a timber carbine in .444, but a 450 would be fine. Kicking my butt I never picked one up when there were lots around. Scarce as hens teeth now as you know. My recollection is that 44 mag is in and around the same vintage as the timber carbine period. That series had short barrels and half mags. I am not a Winchester lever expert so I could be wrong in my reasoning.

 

[two-dogs]

very nice. I want one. But, sadly I'll likely never find one. Just like the Deerfield that I can't find.

 

[mrgoat]

Deerfield's like the above Winchester's/ Timber Carbines can be found, unfortunately they want two arms and a leg for them. The Rugers come up on the EE a lot more often than the Winchesters, but most fella's want to make most of there retirement savings off the sale of one.

How much did Denis let you take that one for?

A lot less that I would let it go for
The 30-30 came from Epps, and the Timber Carbine from Kukagami Jacks
