Thanks much. It is interesting to stumble onto something magnificent once in a while.

With these small engines 93 octane is your friend.

If I was closer, I would see if I could out bid Charlie. Not sure what a fair price is but most prices on the internet are rather optimistic. Good luck to you.

Not much good unless it is loaded. Tell her to shoot it, practice is a good thing. You might give it a good cleaning for her.

I have had worse experiences at shows. Now shoot it.

Your credit score is used by insurance companies to determine rates.

$200 in 1934 was some money, today not much more than a decent dinner for two. Regulation is still there. What a big nothing burger.

Cool gun, have you shot it yet?

Been thinking about this, my answer is all of them are for sale. My brother got Grandpas Winchester so that would be the only one with sentimental value. All the rest are easily replaced with a similar gun if the itch strikes.

I would imagine than if the gun is original then the wear on the stocks would be similar to the wear on the gun. That being said “improving” the stocks would impact the value as a reblue would.

I would rathe have four nickels in my pocket. When the power goes out I want something in my hand, not electrons.

Patience will get you all of them for at least $500 less. None are super rare. Pristine, with the correct box should still be found for significantly less than your friends prices. I would pass, keep the friend and search elsewhere.

Swap the stocks out and you have a real keeper. Shoot it.

What did you give, ballpark? A shooter is what you bought. I am intrigued, please post after you get a chance to shoot her.

AI, look at the hands.
