Just another old man in Texas, joining the forum. Roots in central Texas going back to early 1800's. My first firearm, was inherited Winchester model 1894, chambered in 42-40. Built in 1896. Unfortunately, stolen in breakin.

Howdy and welcome from Houston(ish). Sorry for your loss. Hopefully the thief managed to shoot himself with it.

I recently acquired a Marlin built 1977 model 1894, chambered in 44 mag. Not exactly the same, but now all my firearms are safely stored in a safe. Tough lesson. I still have a new box of 32-40 cartridges, the thieves missed.

I also just purchased a Ruger SupeBlack Hawk 44mag to complement my 1894 and ordered a western style holster.
