Dad's is a '37 and maybe I'll get it one day.My brother doesn't seem to like it.I haven't talked about it to my sister.She likes guns too but I think she won't go after it either.
It's a keeper to me and is one of his last guns that we shot together.I can't see anymore range time with Dad in our future.
Thanks for sharing.Nice score BTW,sorry for the off subject memories.

Your memories are warmly appreciated. I know these classic pumps, Winchesters I mean, were probably the first guns for many hard core shooters now. When I shot the 14or 15 round out of my Rossi today I imagined couples on the crowded Santa Cruz boardwalk or Coney Island in the 1940's, eating cotton candy and carrying stuffed animals then stopping to pop off some .22 shorts at the outdoor shooting gallery. Other guns in this catagory are the Remington pump .22's, the Savage Visable Loader, etc.
