Nice. I've had two, but they were pretty rough--a .40-82 and one converted to .33 WCF. Unfortunately I didn't appreciate them enough and didn't restore them properly as I should have.
I worked on two for the local museum about ten years ago. One was a very fancy grade special order one that lettered.I forget the caliber, but all it needed was a very mild, proper cleanup. However, it had one of the set triggers on it, and boy, was that a tricky setup to work on.
The other was a much-abused .45-70 with good provenance and interesting history--basically, a wreck. Broken tang, parts missing, you name it. I farmed out the tang welding, but made it a personal project, because the owner was a real character and immensely interesting. Although the bore looked like a sewer pipe (thanks to corrosive priming and decades of neglect) I deemed it safe to fire with BP duplex loads. Accuracy was nonexistent, but it functioned well. I figured that it probably hadn't been fired in 70 years or more.
Old John Browning designed one helluva good rifle in the '86 Winchester!
