    My New Winchester

    I got a new Winchester on Friday. Well it's 108 years old, but it looks new.
    It is a 1906 model, made in 1911. Takedown model, shoots shorts, long and long rifle.
    It was refurbished about 20 years ago by a well known Minnesota gunsmith, and has sat in his son's gun safe since.
    The guy I got it from decided to sell it, as he can't shoot irons anymore and has scopes on all his rifles.

    The rifle was polished and hot blued, new wood with the early style non grooved fore end grip, a new magazine tube and barrel was relined.
    It locks up tight and has a nice trigger.
    These Winchester pumps are very compact, another great design by JMB.

    I got it out Saturday morning and tried it out. Front sight was too low so I put a taller one on when I got home.
    Barrel looks really long but is a touch under 20 inches.
    These are really fun plinkers !

    Way cool.

    My grand father had one of that era.
    One of my cousins got it.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    My Grandson will get this one but he won't be born until February, so that gives me plenty of time to enjoy it !

    Great gun and hope you really enjoy it!
    When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!

    That is nice, I am jealous/envious.
    Nice handling and just plain fun to shoot.
