Not sure if anyone had done this already, so I just made this thread for new guys like me to create an intro. Anyway, newbie here. I’m glad to have found this great online Winchester arms community. I’m hoping to learn more from the other members here. Cheers!
Good morning and welcome John,
Hopefully you will find this a great place to hang out and learn more about the wonderful hobby of collecting old Winchester rifles, shotguns and “stuff”. It does not matter whether you can afford $20,000 guns or $200 examples. All are welcome and we will be glad to help in any way. Tell us more about your interests and collecting desires.

Welcome, John! Is there any Winchester model in particular that brought you here?

Thank you very much, everyone! As of now, I’m still at the learning curve, but once I get a grasp of the basics, I’ll be buying my own. I’ll look around the forum for more info, I know I’ll be learning a lot from the experienced members here.

A good start is a few reference books, most serious collectors have a pretty impressive reference library. Books are a lot more interesting with an example or three nearby for hands-on study. They’re often expensive but good investments. It’s a vicious, never-ending cycle but it’s the most fun I’ve had in awhile.
There are indeed some bona fide experts on this forum, they’ve helped me immensely on numerous occasions. If you’ll join WACA one of the many benefits is the quarterly magazine. The latest edition is full of some very well-written and informative articles, some written by forum members.
Enjoy!
