As usual, we did considerable research here in the United States. We decided, after a lot of discussion with knowledgeable Winchester fans, to change the ol' 62 as little as possible to suit current requirements. Button rifle the barrels - accuracy is of utmost importance. Clean up the insides and make everything fit tightly but still able to take down easily. Stock color is important, as is the density of the wood.
Imbuia wood is a dense, tough wood, similar in many ways to walnut.
Give the gun a firing pin safety - the old guns cannot pass a modern day drop test. Add the unique Taurus Security System to the hammer. Keep the exact dimensions of the old rifle. Make the action sound and feel like the old Winchesters. Give a trigger pull that is crisp and safe.
