Winchester 1873 1st. First Model Thumb Print Dust Cover

Description

You are looking at a very hard to get USA Quality made Winchester Model 1873 Dust Cover.  I sold several of these around 8 years ago.  I have had numerous requests from previous buyers to make more of them.  I finally got at it with the help from a fellow Collector/Machinist friend here in Michigan.  A lot of the covers I previously sold were in the white.  Most Gunsmiths/Collectors like to finish the cover to match their 73 appearance.    If you are going to bid, you are bidding on one cover only.   The cover listed is in the white and polished to 320 grit. It is the proper thickness and length.  It isn't thin and loose like some of the other reproductions that are out there.  I use 3 original 1873 First Model frames to try each cover in for a proper fit.  As you know, the rails on the first model get dinged and damaged so the cover won't slide freely in the frame. ( Believe it or not that is why there are a lot of First Models out there without their original covers.)  You might need to clean out those areas before this cover will fit into your frame.  If you have any problems I will be happy to share some ways to help make the corrections.   Please look at the pictures and my other auctions for Winchester parts.  I ship USPS Priority Mail.  I accept PayPal and other forms of payment. Insurance is the responsibility of the winning bidder.  No International sales or shipping.  I have marked this item as a No Refund.  It doesn't take 15 minutes to make up your mind on an item like this.  However I want you to be satisfied.  If you contact me within 2 days of receiving this item and are not satisfied I will be glad to refund you in full except the cost of shipping back to me as long as the part has not been altered in anyway.   I feel this is fair for you and me.  I have been with E Bay for over 20 years with 100% positive feedback.   Payment must be made within 5 days of auction end. I will be glad to answer any questions that I can.  Don't miss out on these Dust Covers.  I don't think I will be making anymore.  Good luck in bidding.
