Most likely a 45-70. I think he redoes the Brownings and the Chiappa guns...

To answer a question from another member - this is not a restoration, it is a conversion on a modern Miroku built Winchester, original post updated with this info.

1886 is my favorite Winchester, mine aint as purty as yours, mine was made in 1890.

And folks should understand that he does away with the rebounding hammer and welds up the safety hole in the tang in favor of the traditional half cock lockwork. He does a lot more than just refinish them. I looked at them at the NRA show and they're a spectacular rifles!

Yes, thank you. I didn't make that very clear in the original post so added it up top.

In answer to a question, the logo is an old Winchester Repeating Arms Co. logo that could be found engraved on the model 1887 shotgun (and maybe others I'm not aware of?). It was also modified and used on the anniversary model 1894 (without the "Co."). See pics below.
