Beautiful weapon. Love the buckhorn sight. Takes .44 ammunition, I presume? I'll probably re-chamber it for .45, for personal use. I have far too many .44 lever guns, probably because I have most of the lever guns on the Nexus.
I'm tickled to see age-old weapons like this popping up every now and then. A lot of mods on the Nexus try to create more modern weapons, with their polymer stocks (Mattel Gun, anyone?) and fancy optics. I feel that classics like this puppy really spice things up. What can I say? I'm a man with old-fashioned tastes in firearms. Wood over polymer, .30-06 over .308, and manually cycled actions over automatic fire.
You have my applaud, sir. Keep on keeping the classics alive.
SpamPTRS ... this is your one and only realy nice mod. There is nothing to critism, but only the small hammer. The original has the wide like the bolt. But this is the one and only. It is a realy fine mod. Maybe a little bit retexturing, but it is not important. :-) Mods like this will get a like. :-)
the whole lineage goes Volcanic (1855) --> Henry (1860) --> Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy". Funny part is Winchester bought Volcanic and turned it into Newhaven Arms Company in 1856 (and renamed it Winchester in late 1865-1866), and bought out Henry Repeating Arms (Henry used to work for Volcanic but left when Winchester moved the company to Newhaven and Henry kept the design).. but I do love the weapon .. and will be using it my next "pre-1900" theme play-through.
The real Yellowboy Winchester repeaters reciever was made from a tough type of bronze called 'gunmetal" so named as the alloy was orginally used for muzzle loading canon , it had zinc added to it as well as tin and copper which is what gave it it's brassy colour .Of course there`s nothing stopping Your in game Yellowboy from being gold if You like as , from memory , a handfull of presentation models were gold plated
