I plan to drop the hammer on the first whitetail I see using this carbine in just a couple of weeks.

I found it on my bed Oct. 3 1955, my 16th. birthday. A gift from my parents. It had that heavier forearm. It even had a Lyman receiver sight like above. It was stolen from me in Potsdam NY around 1962. In the short time that I had it, it took some very mice Adirondack whitetails. Fifty years later I sure would like to find another. Nostelga.

Jim - Happy Birthday - get on GunBroker and watch - you can find one, it won't be the same and it won't be cheap, but there is one out there somewhere.

With all the good coments I want you to see it all....its a joy to carry and shoot....lighter than my 71s but a beauty none the less....I also have a standard in 30 WCF made between 43' and 48'

He did his own "gun smithing" on it, so it's less that stellar. But it has a PILE of game behind her. I wanted to bond to the rifle and took it deer hunting. Shot the first legal buck I saw and it did just fine. Made around 1913, IIRC. Last edited by Blacktail53; 10/08/11. BT53 "Where do they find young men like this?"

The year of manufacture for serial number 656xxx is 1913. Per: http://oldguns.net/sn_php/winmods.htm Funny, the date was off by one year on my mdl 70, too. I checked them all years ago and haven't had a reason to revisit since. BT53 "Where do they find young men like this?" Reporter Savidge, Iraq Elk, it's what's for dinner....

Don There's some advantage to it if you intend to load black powder, I believe. Back then, that was an issue for some.

Jim Maybe that one in the picture is yours. What was the serial number? I'm sure he'd do the right thing and send it back to its rightful owner. PS That picture makes me super jealous.
