I know these 1891s are not super strong but this rifle is pretty cherry condition and my dad hunted it up into the 80s so I have no worries for the structural condition. I plan to get dies and reload for it as well. I have some ammo for it and just picked up some more. I am returning the rifle to open sight configuration and I found the original rear sight and am reinstalling it.
So, anyway, my dad hunted the Argentine 1891 mostly with open sights before the rigged up Weaver. The Weaver has found a new home on my 336 Marlin Texan, they are period correct together or close and look good together as well. It is in fine shape, semi-sporterized and was wearing a tip-off 3X Weaver 6B. A Model Winchester 63 pump 22 with the wear/rust imprint of my grandfathers hand on the receiver for example. Most of them are nothing special other than who they belonged to. I have acquired from my dad and from my grandfather and great uncle numerous weapons over the years.
