📋 About This Mod
WINCHESTER 1873
- UPDATE: New tint-changable Wrap + Carvings
- This mod replaces the Lancaster Repeater.
- The replacement is fully customisable, through weapon components, metal tints, varnishes and wood grains.
- Animations are now applicable to edited weapon models, thanks to LeBakou, meaning that this model has functioning animations.
- No .asi script, meaning that NPCs can use it.
- If you don't want to sacrifice your beloved Lancaster in such a way, you can download the Munitions merge which adds the 1873 as its own weapon entry!
- Credit to Radu Mocanu for the original Musket Model, I just made some edits to it so it would resemble a carbine.
- Enjoy, - MrSweedgaming2
