Re: Large Loop for Winchester

Although we all grew up watching the Rifleman with his large loop Winchester 92. Even though it was supposed to be 1870s or 1880s! The Duke had his Winchester 92 large loop Trap...

Re: Winchester 1894-1994 Commemorative Rifle Modifications
Thank you Scott! I like the long octagonal barrel on the Canadian model. I'm not a fan of any of the commemoratives. After further research the were made 1967 and 1968.Scott Tschirhart wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 9:00 am I think that all of the commemorative rifles were made post-1964.
