My god this gun is too pretty to shoot!! Absolutely perfect too. Freaking museum piece. Ammo is a little more expensive than a 30-30 but it's worth it.

Buds sent quickly and as usual made the process easy. Rifle worked flawless, needed to lube at the range to ensure a smooth operation. Beautiful finish and (once lubed) operation. Recommend for those of us who love living history. Purchased the 45LC version.

Q: Does the 1866 have a lever safety to prevent it from shooting out of battery?
Author: Danny C.
(1) ANSWER
A: Morgan, yes. By lowering the lever, the knee is flexed, the bolt retreats and the spent case is pulled out from the chamber, into the ejection port. Lowering the lever still further, the cartridge carrier block moves up, aligning a fresh cartridge to the breech while ejecting the spent one (the rifle doesn't have an ejector). By rising the lever again, the fresh cartridge was chambered while the carrier was lowered to accept a new cartridge pushed back by the magazine's spring. Returning the lever to its resting position made the knee joint straight again so that the bolt was solidly locked in place, and the rifle was ready to repeat the cycle.
