This carbine was cut down from a Winchester Extra Light 1886 in 45/70.

I adapted a rail to the gun so you could use an aimpoint.

Once I got that figured out I cut the barrel to 17 inches and soldered on a front sight base.

The but stock was long and had a steel but pad so I cut it down fitted it with but pad.

That is badass! How much lighter do you reckon it is vs. a Guide Gun?

Thank you all

The rifle is about 1/2lbs lighter that a 1895 guid gun.

Outstanding work Mr. Smith! I'm going to have to keep my eye out for decent project guns with this in mind.
