Last evening I finished powder coating a set of Chevy rally wheels and had to deliver them today. After the delivery, and getting paid in cash, I stopped by the neighbors welding shop. One of his welders had something he wanted to show me. It turned out to be a Winchester model 90, pump action in 22 L.R. only. Manufacture date is 1906. It does have a couple of issues cosmetic wise but still in good shape. Yeah, I gave him my hard earned cash and put it in the car.
On the way to the car the neighbor called out, Do you want some lead? I told him I might need some, like I am going to say no. He loaded a bucket in the car and I came home. Got the bucket out and there were 20 bricks that weigh around 4.20 each. I made a test with my Cabin Tree and it came up to number 85 which comes to 15 on the Brinell scale.
New rifle, free lead, it's a good day.

I forgot to tell how much I paid for the model 90, $200.
