I'm comfortable in most aspects of shotgunning , however , I'm fairly ignorant about an "old" rifle that my FIL gave to me .
It's an 1892 Winchester Carbine and the Blue Book of Gun Values
shows a respectable value even at 10% condition . I've been told by "some" that if it shoots O.K. that it has to be better than 10%.
Will some shooter(s) , please, give me some idea as to how to judge this relic ? It shoots fairly accurately for the type sight it has but w/o a peep sight or scope , my eyesight and the open sight is a "hit or miss" arrangement .
Replacement wood is available and the gun could stand refinishing but obviously , would look refinished .
Any advice will be be appreciated , Hawkaaa53
