The 1902 Winchester sold to some guy in 1919 for 50 cents. I paid $245 today. Over 98 years, that is 6.5%/year compounded annually. Those Winchesters are big earners. Most guns are 3%.

That bore is perfect. If it sold in 1919, they must have had smokeless with non corrosive primers.
I got a Savage 1904 two weeks ago that looks much like it, and it has no riflings left at all.
