Snagged this old 1897 Winchester 12ga take down. I have wanted a hammer fired pump 12ga for a long time and now I own an original. The take down is really cool too and comes apart in seconds. My daughter and I were out side at 7am blasting it she really thinks it's cool too!.

Now I can finally do vintage 3 gun matches.

And slam firing 12ga is way to much fun!

Happy D-Day. Never Forget! All these were made pre June 6 1944.

Any idea on the going rate for a very nice 1949 GRI No. I Mk. III in .303? Trying to figure out whether its worth selling or if i should get rid of a Mosin 91/30 instead... or both

I'd ask $400

Thanks. I feel bad slowly bleeding out surplus rifles, but the prices they are fetching lately makes it hard to say no sometimes.

Was on Vacation and JUST happened to pass through Springfield Mass, Home of Springfield Armory National Historic Museum. I am blown out. Never seen such fine examples of American Arms. Everything is mint. Everything is New. Armory Fresh. I laid EYES on Garand #1. Yep 1. 1-80 Were made by hand by Mr. Garand for the army. 81 was the first off the line. 81 Was sitting there as well. The 1903's , M1, M14, Krags, Pristine Examples of Every Service rifle ever made are in there. PIcs later. I sent a few to alleycat in real time...yesterday. Wow. If you are ever up that way stop in. Its FREE.

Edit: I cant believe my Rifles are from that facility. It blows my mind.

Garand #1 second from bottom. Lots of neat Prototypes. All the early 1920’s Rifles Mr. Garand was working on are there.
