Ok, this might take a minute to explain. (Cue the Twilight Zone theme music now.) When I wrote that post I knew what I was talking about,.....but I don’t anymore. Evidently, I had read an in depth analytical description of that rifle in a post, but apparently that post/comment wasn’t here on this thread. I guess I wandered off to read more about the find, starting at the sourced site. I may have actually gone into the future, I am not sure anymore. Anyway, there in the future I read a comment about a lower barrel having been removed from this particular Winchester. There it was explained that that lower “tube” was used for rod storage (not cartridge). I rushed back here to expand on what I thought might be a theme, not thinking that the post about “Rod Storage” hadn’t yet been written (in the present, which is now the recent past). Where that exact post/comment that I read (and mistakenly thought I’d read here) actually exists may forever remain a mystery. It may not exist yet. Could turn up tomorrow. Who knows.
