That barrel & underlug profile is my favorite and the stocks are outstanding.
That's a real looker!

Glad to see another Bowen 38-40. it sure is pretty. Mine is on a Highway Patrolman, with 6 inch barrel, and has Herrett grips. It sure is a tack driver. Piece of serendipty: when sighted in for 25 yds, one compete revolution of the elevation screw will put you right on target at 100 yards.

Got that right. What a beauty! The .38-40 is definitely an under-appreciated cartridge.
