    What do you guy make of it?
    It's not actually an original Model 1871 conversion (see Ball p.148).
    Both the 71 and 71/84 had 3 bands.
    The stock is cut down from a Model 71/84 (the repeater version).
    The barrelled action is a shortened Model 71.

    In other words, regardless of caliber, it's a bitsa.
