Here's something you don't see every day--Winchester 94 frame with a Savage 1899 .303 barrel fitted to it. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=256708758Rod

That is interesting, never seen the likes of it before. It would be unique to be out hunting with a tubular magazine .303 Savage rifle. It is an agenda of mine to not be so drawn to novelty guns like this - that I actually purchase them.

I saw a marlin recently with a Savage 23 barrel screwed on it... odd that two such beast would show up around the same time...

For a while I had a Winchester 1890 with a GECO Model 1919 barrel pinned-and-sleeved in, with the 1890 rings soldered on the bottom. Was probably a Great Depression job where labor was cheaper than parts.
After a botched re-sleeving job, I sent it t Corelokt here and between us we found enough parts to bring it back to original condition, its my niece's 10th birthday present.

Yep:
Somebody took 2 broken guns and made one out of them.

Today people hire people to cut their grass and clean their houses.
Amazing.
