I am very suspicious.

The boxes with the white stick on labels don’t seem right to me, nor does a “special” Winchester 61 with an octagon barrel and a 1953 date of manufacture.  How many of these NIB rifles can there possibly be out there?  And all in one place?   Between SDOG and Chas Key, there are just too many fakes of these rifles, and I wouldn’t touch them.

They give off “the powerful odor of mendacity.”
