Please tell us what the serial number is. Can you also verify the 2-digit barrel date?

Hi Chad,

Welcome!

Pictures would be great also, you can email them to me at Abendshien @ aol.com and I can post them here for you.

So sad…

All hat and no cattle. All sizzle and no steak.

Just another “dump & run” post by a non-WACA member, who may or may not have any rifle at all. No pictures after more than four days, even when JWA offered to post photos sent to him, makes me suspect someone is just winding us up.

Maybe the OP also knows where Amelia Earhart’s airplane is.

Maybe it was discovered with Jimmy Hoffa’s body.

Technically, it would be called “trolling” since nothing was offered for sale. And, I truly hope that is not the case here as we can all benefit from seeing another example of these hard-to-find Winchesters and welcome a new participant to the WACA forum.

Personally, I would give the person a wee bit more time than 4 days before down-grading the post since even I have had forum gaps greater than that due to work or life interruptions.

And, while typing this response, I mis-spelled “hard to find” and it came out (even clearing spell-check) as “hard-to-fond” and I chuckled because there are a few Winchesters that are “hard-to-fond” for me, starting with the weird-looking lever-action Model 88…. 😉

Good points all. I too would not consider 4 days adequate span to judge. Life happens. You can’t have no hope at all..

Speaking of chads..who remembers the extended life of “hanging chads” down Florida way. That kept us on the edge of our stools for weeks.
