Anybody know what's up with the Winchester collectors forum? I have been a member for years, but when I posted some pics, it said first time posters have to be approved.
Winchester forum?

I think you have to be born prior to 1964......

I have devoted many decades to studying certain models of Winchesters. While about any early Winchester draws my attention, model 70's, 1894's, and 12's leave me drooling. Being the local "expert" I see many family heirlooms. Sometimes I am asked questions I know they don't want the answers to.

What looks like a hex bolt holding the stock together they tell me is a decorative inlay of some sort.
SN puts it probably early 1895, 1st year of production.

I read that there's a new Winchester bolt action. Anyone know what it's called and what it looks like?

I spend my time here as the Winchester Forum has never seemed to gain much traction. Frankly I think there are more "Winchester Guys" here then there..... Great 94 by the way, thanks for giving us a look.

There are a couple of very knowledgeable Winchester people over there, like Bert.

Right. I would like to have Bert look at it after I get it.
I had an 1894 .32 Special, 20" short barrel rifle with the octagon barrel, made in 1908. I never could get it authenticated as original. I would show it to different Winchester guys and get different opinions. I guess it really didn't matter as I only gave $55.00 for it in 1964. I ended up giving it to my son one Christmas. He gave me an AK the same Christmas. I think I may have been taken on that deal.

Well, maybe the guy that got $55 for it was the one that got taken!
You can get a Cody letter for it, which is what I'm going to do.
