1/35 Prospector

Awesome Frank 👌 👏
That elliptical thingamabob behind the trigger is a vernier adjustable site ..with that site the rifle could shoot out to 700yds plus ..depending on the round ..be it a 30-30 or .44 and so on .
My Sharps 45,110 Quigley can hit targets out to 1000yrds and with the massive size of the rds its not surprising

I didn't think of modernising the rifle into something not all that modern, not to speak of futuristic....
The 1873 fires pretty low velocity rounds: 44/40 and some smaller ones that are also suitable for period revolvers. Rainbow trajectories, so the vernier sight will be useful even if ranges are not all THAT long.

I thought "thingamabob behind the trigger" referred to the lever, or cocking handle, of the lever action.

That looks great, Frank!  

The prospector out-guns his 3 pals quite considerably!

That really is fantastic Frank

Thanks for all the comments! I was referring to the cocking handle. I couldn't remember what it was called when I posted. This was a fun kit to build, with few of the issues with scale and faces that some Masterbox kits seem to have.

Looks very good to me!

And originally made in the same calibre so you could use the same round in both - not having to pack different ones.
