Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Back From the Dead

I like project guns...especially something that REALLY turns out nice. Pristine, unmolested collector stuff is OK, but a redone rifle is better. It looks great (sometimes better than originally) but can be used, due to collector status being less than a pristine rifle. It all depends on who does the work.

Here's a Winchester take-down that was case-hardened and blued by my bud, Justin McMillan. He also rebuilt and cased the Redfield receiver sight as an additional touch. He left the stock alone, except for steaming out some dents and adding a coat of oil. It looks better with the aged look he wanted, instead of a complete stock refinish.

Bore (.30-30) is mint. I like this one.
