Greetings to everyone, I am on the Queen Charlotte Islands on the West coast of Canada, just below Alaska. I have a bunch of old Winchesters, Marlins, and a single Savage 1899. I have really enjoyed reading the posts on this forum, and finally decided to join. Love old Winchesters, and love to BS about them, LOL!

Here is one of my favourites, 1892 in .32WCF, made in 1918. This old timer has killed a barrel full of raccoons, which are in plague proportions out here. Longest shot was just short of 200yds. The 115gr. bullets hit them hard!

My favourite .30WCF, a Model 94 from 1927, 26" round barrel and butt trap like on the 1873's. Posed with an old martin trap that I found in the woods. This rifle has been my companion on many adventures, and saved me from a giant spider :shock: on one occasion.

Welcome to a great place. fine looking rifles. My 92 32wcf rifle dates from 1917, I bought it from an uncle in 1953. It is still as accurate as when I got.

My '92 really surprised me, it is one of those rifles that hits pretty much anything you pull the trigger on. The BP loads are neat, they make a nice "SNAP". I always seem to lose my ejected brass, though, the cases are so small they fall into cracks in the rocks, or moss swallows them up. :(

Welcome! Glad to see another Canadian on this board. I enjoyed those photos of your fine old Winchesters. Keep them coming! Even if they are the same guns in a different location, I think we all enjoy the photos.

Thanks for the video and we do like old Krags. I have a rifle with the full 30 inch barrel and all the wood except the long piece on the bottom and the one on top over the sight. I do like that 30-40 round.
