Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Let's compare -- My Bob to the Bob that just sold

Hi jk16.

As I noted in my post - I did not see the original auction listing, which presumably included a description and better photos. Also noted in my post, the stock color looked off to me (a bit too orange) and the bluing looked too black, where the pre-64 rifles have a decidedly blue tint. It is impossible to say anything definitive from a single photo viewed on my phone, as the photo and/or my phone may not be reflecting true colors. This is why I said "IF THE RIFLE WAS REFINISHED..."

I'm not trying to desparage the auction rifle. It may be all original. I was merely pointing out it didn't strike me as being clearly original finishes in the one photo which was provided, and if it wasn't original , this would pretty dramatically affect the value.
