I have posted this picture from deer camp the last 4 years and enjoyed the comments Circa 1945 Ontario

I just had a look at everyone's response and am glad that most enjoyed the picture again.

As for AJMD response, I ma glad that you are not my Doctor!!!!

This is the 3rd year that I have posted this picture while at deer camp. So many have replied with positive comments I thought it would be good to show again especially this year! Enjoy

So many enjoyed this picture last year that I thought it was worth posting again while sitting in on a rain day at camp.
It is circa 1948. These are some of the founding fathers of the camp that I joined 25 years ago. Lever action guns prevailed.
Enjoy!

Hi All,
Looking for opinion,
I am looking to purchase a current production Winchester 1892 in 44 Mag. 20"

Carbine or Short Rifle?

Other than the obvious visual differences in forearm and butt stock..........is there other considerations in handling or performance,

Thanks,

Gary

So many enjoyed this picture, I thought I would re-post it.

Not sure Joe ...I hunt with 2 great nephews of 2 of the guys in the photo. Did hunt with pecks relative as well but he passed about 10 years ago. Most were from the belleville ontario area. Gary

Hi All, Can anyone confirm that the sight height of the first blade is .265 I have removed a damaged 3 leaf sight and put on a #64 lyman but cant get it low enough even without the ramp.

I have come across several serial number manufacture dates for Model 94's. Some date my gun as built in 1900 while others have it as 1904. It is 210XXX. Any comments on which site provides the accurate list? TIA Gary

Sorry Batman....you lost me....y2k?

Here is the bad side of the stock
