Hey everyone, here’s a bi-product of a project I’m working on. Given that Wardaddy allows his anims to be used in modding projects, I felt it was best to make longer and shorter animations for the usecase as the Winchester 1897 could only hold 5 shells. I made 3 animations that are both 1st and 3rd person.

This is my first 3DS Max project so apologies if they seem inconsistent, I did the best I could.



 I have 
4 Shell Reload
6 Shell Reload
7 Shell Reload

Q: Why stop at 7?
A: these anims don’t insert a shell in the chamber so I felt 7 was the most logical (And these are a pain to make.

Q: BCR?: 
A: Out of the box, yes

Q: Requirements?
A: The original anim set of course. Don’t get the animation set from Wardaddy’s 2.0 version as they aren’t the exact one I used. I recommend getting them from the AnotherOne Police Pack (It’s a great mod too, you should keep it installed)

Q: Permissions? 

A: Feel free to use it obviously. PLEASE I ask you to CREDIT WARDADDY FIRST. Then say I edited his anims because that’s pretty much what I did.

Tools used:
3DS Max 2015
Notepad++
HXC Unpacker
