Basically, if you find any old pre 64 Winchester, in any model at 95%-100% and the price is decent, you should probably buy it. If you don't, the next guy will. We would think that collecting in this manor one would accumulate too many guns in a short time, but nice old Winchesters in that condition do not really come up that often. I have passed on a few beautiful ones over the years that I shouldn't have. We learn as we go.
