Sorry for the silly title, amigos, it is from an old Revco song. Now that the little people in this household have stopped interrupting me with the noise and paper airplanes, I can perhaps ruminate on the latest project.
On that point, a NIB, stainless steel, .44 Magnum, Winchester 92-based, 10+1 capacity, lever-gun* is on it's way here. Assuming it works out, it will be a good working companion on this land, but more so on the coming southward work. I'm getting older, so I can already feel the aches, though since I am a wacky guy, I actually look forward to the adventure. But I digress.
All that aside, my plan is to:
Be that as it may, have a good weekend, my friends.

All that aside, my plan is to:
- Give it a thorough cleaning and lubrication.
- Coat the wood stock with a good wax.
- Install sling swivels and put a quality leather sling on said.
- Have my beloved delicately wrap the lever in paracord, as she has done on other lever-guns in the past.
- Shoot it a bunch to make sure it runs fine.
- Maybe have a gunsmith slick it up. Not sure on this one and open to thoughts.
Be that as it may, have a good weekend, my friends.
