Remember the1873 rifle found leaning up against a tree?
 

Well, here's a video describing what happened to it and where it's been.

The audio sucks in certain areas of the video. Sorry

Not that it would be possible but I always thought it would be interesting to find out the 'story' behind this rifle.
Who owned it and whatever became of them.
Why it was left there .... unloaded, etc. - etc.

Wet interesting story that leaves so many questions unanswered. Thanks for posting.

I'm sure they checked with Winchester.

I'm sure it was probably leaned against the tree while stopping for whatever reason and forgotten. I would imagine it would be near impossible to determine which tree you left it by if you went back for it.
