You bunch of old fanny burbs!

35!

First rifle is a 94 30-30. Last rifle I bought was a semi deluxe '92.

Not too many of us young blokes into the good old stuff. I was born in the wrong bloody time.

I do remember Jack shared a picture of his 1886 that was not pretty. Metal fatigue I recall

You should see the fine they gave me for running open headers on the Cleveland in my 66 mustang. Too loud they said but but but. Sure it wasn't a Windsor? A Cleveland is too wide for the shock towers on a '65 and '66 without modifying the towers. From 67 and up a Cleveland will fit. I have a Boss 3...

Great pictures! Went to your country on a family holiday in 1997 as a kid. We went to the NAS ocenia airshow at Virginia Beach, was really good. The Blue Angles flew there too. I remember dad holding me up to the 30mm cannon on an A10 and I could clearly feel the lands and grooves in one of the barr...

Several years ago some one posted several pages of the polishing room dates. I did save them so I will see if I can find them to post. I reckon a bunch here saved them too. I believe they covered several models also. Seems like it was the late Mike from California. I think this may be the thread yo...

Aussie Chris

Wonder how much he paid for it at the show

Aussie Chris

It is a well balanced rifle and with that shotgun stock with the fluted comb, it does look good.

I have one. Made by Winchester in 1928 in the very hard to find 44WCF.

Aussie Chris

You just called a rifle "cute"

Aussie Chris

Really cool. Love the sound of a V12 and a radial engine. Had the pleasure of sitting in the cockpit of Fifi , the world's only flying B29 when I visited the confederate airforce museem in Texas. Also saw sentimental journey the B17G at an airshow in Virginia in 1997 with my family as a kid. It was ...

By coincidence I was watching operation Overlord on netflix WWII in colour not even realising the date!

Brave men that saved many. Imagine how the war may have turned out if Overlord failed.

The cowboy ex cop from WA is Kim w Cook. Just sent him an email, hope all these blokes are ok. A lot of good men on here, shame to lose a few.

Haha nice Jack! I need to stick to the two beers a night thing I think.

Looking at the tang and top barrel flat, it has clearly had a lot of hard use. The serial number has been partially removed as the other markings have from hard use. It would have a few stories no doubt. Do you know any of the history? If you really want to know the serial number you could try the a...

Good looking 94. I have a similar looking flat band in 30WCF from 1946. Yours also has the receiver sight holes, a Lyman would suit it well if you are not a fan of the standard buckhorn. Let us know how she shoots!

Calypso Coral is a cool colour, I looked at 4 in that colour before finding and purchasing mine. Imagine that Torino with a 429SCJ and a 4 speed toploader. ....ahhh bliss....

Aussie Chris

Exactly Rihmfire!

Aussie Chris

Love a good car show! The hobby is strong here. Here is my '70 Mach 1 and dad's 60 Thunderbird.

I still have a modest collection of Winchesters, it can still be done with ownership of a classic/muscle car!

Chris

Aussie Chris

Nice 62A Jack! I bought one very similar to yours made in 1940 last year down here at an auction for around the same price.

Get a chance to shoot it yet? I still have to take mine out.

I stick to my signature line.

Heaps of them here in Australia. Only see them in standard configuration not in XTR models.

Great range report Kirk. Beautiful '92 and nice wall mount too. Wish we could mount them on walls here in Australia

The Flying Fortress. What a plane. When men were men. 10 men with .50 cals and a job to do.

This is a great read, I've read it twice. http://www.flyingbooks.co.uk/acatalog/C ... tress.html

Aussie Chris

I paid over 2k here in Aus for mine. It's 40-65 from 1888 and just a little better nick than the one in your link. I don't regret buying it.

They are hard to find, especially here in Australia.

I'd say it' a good deal but clear pics would help with your answer.

Shame about Kim, I enjoyed his posts.

Good to hear about the good blokes around here. Us youngins gotta look up to you blokes

Aussie Chris

A fine example of the 1892. Well used, pah!
Great shooting Kirk!

You also have a flat band there, the front barrel band. I have a beautiful flat band carbine in 30wcf from 1946. The flat band carbines command a small premium and we're made from the mid 40s to early 50s I believe. Good luck with the project!

Chris

Aussie Chris

That is a beautiful 1886. Like Pop Watts, it makes mine look like really shabby!

Aussie Chris

Merry Christmas everyone!
Chris

Aussie Chris

Beautiful 30WCF! Nice tang sight too! Plenty of blue left.

I picked up a really nice flat band in 30WCF a few months back too and she shoots great with 150s.

Merry Christmas to all!

A great old vintage video that I found on the great WACA forum. There's a few '71s and a model 12.

Check out that Winchester tent!

Now that is just cool! Well done sir

Awesome post! Good to see old Winchesters doing what they should be doing!

Aussie Chris

These Turkish shotties have been the big debate down here amongst the liberal left since they came in a few months back.

The ill informed knee jerk reactive politicians that oppose it have no idea about one that has been in existence since 1887.....and that has been legal and never banned here.

Aussie Chris

Aussie Chris

Great rifle! I love the triple four on sambar down here.

I am still trying to find a timber carbine version in the model 94 Winchester down here with no luck

Aussie Chris

I just catch it with my hand if i'm taking my time...

Aussie Chris

Good on those blokes

Aussie Chris

That rifle is very nice and a great way to remember your dad!

Aussie Chris

They are a nice looking commemorative. In both a carbine and rifle. Both in 30-30. Here are the specifics: 1968 BUFFALO BILL 30-30 cal. 122169 mfg. (rifles & carbines) Engraved blue receiver, nickel plated forend cap, barrel bands and buttplate, medallion in stock RIFLE - 26" heavy octagon ...

Aussie Chris

Stubbycatt, My guess is that your age is under 40.....probably under 30 where that age group wants everything "nice and fresh". Do what the boys above have rightfully suggested......that's a desirable rifle you have there. Refinishing your rifle would be like putting those stupid looking ...

I thought it was really well done.

Aussie Chris

They won't be banning levers here anytime soon.

The Adler lever 12g got the anti gun mob upset hence the knee jerk statements. Little do they know that there has been a lever 12g around since 1887.....morons. rant over

Chris

Aussie Chris

7.62 precision, that's lovely that you shoot them and love them. Good for you :mrgreen: I didn't mention quality/workmanship or anything. Heck, I have not even handled one of the jolly things, only an old beat up original carbine that nearly made me sick. It's my opinion, nothing more nothing less. ...

Aussie Chris

I'll never own one.

Aussie Chris

I have no trouble finding Trail Boss here in Melbourne. I've only used it in my ancient '94 but will try it in my 444 for plinking rounds now! The full house sambar hunting reloads (265gn) do hurt my shoulder and leave a bruise....

Aussie Chris

I can't wait to see it!

Aussie Chris

What about D - take a pic and show to all your buddies on leverguns?

A good site that should set your mind at ease.

Marc, it's worth what someone is prepared to pay. Here in AUS I've seen shops ask $100 a box.

Rbertolotto, they were made in New Haven they are not a Japchester. Round barrel only.

Just buy it already!
