I have an uncle getting up in years, he has a winchester lever action in 38-40 cal. It came from his grandfather,none of his kids seem very interested in the rifle, he asked me if i would be interested in taking it.Of course i said yes, have not seen it yet. Does the 38-40 cal. give an approximate date of the rifle? Terry
