Okay, original post from 2016, but here is a 219 Zipper story.
Not sure if these names mean anything to you in Australia, but there was a good 219 zipper story on the Johnny Carson tv show back in 1969(?).
The guest was baseball great Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox. Williams was a hunter fisherman, and true outdoorsman/sportsman. Williams was a guest on the Carson show, and told a story that was pretty funny. Williams bought a Winchester Lever gun in 219 Zipper, and wanted to know how it shot. He brought the rifle into an empty Fenway Park baseball stadium ( his home stadium) in downtown Boston well before a game. Williams set up a target on the outfield fence, and then walked back the home plate, and fired few shots from his 219 Zipper into the target. People working at the stadium and the front office scrambled like crazy down to the field to stop Ted Williams from shooting his rifle. Being the superstar he was, he got away with a polite " please don't ever do that again" warning.
So there you go. Hall of gamer Ted Williams shot a 219 Zipper Winchester right in the middle of Fenway Park, in downtown Boston.
