CLEAN UP/SUNDAY

Been busy this morning doing things I haven't had time for in the last couple of weeks.
Took all the black guns and my dad's old 62A Winchester out for a quick wipe down, and swab.
If I remember correctly, my Dad said he bought this gun new, in Gatesville Tx, in 1955 and gave $65.00 for it then, which I'm sure was a lot in the fifties.
This old rifle has probably had thousands of rounds through it, but will still drive a tack.

And the always reliable Winchester Speed Pump. It's hard to beat.

Ya'll have a good Sunday, and thanks for stopping by.

    Those are absolutely beautiful guns...but I can imagine the kickback.

    Yes MsB, some of them do kick a little, but I guess that's part of the fun!
