Did you tell him about your long lost brother that you just found.

He had given me a 1970s Winchester 22 mag (nib as well) by mistake meant to just give me a 22 and instead found out he had 3 30-30s so gave me one of those instead and took the 22 mag back lol I'm not mad

It does come on a sad note though, a lot of those guns came from my grandpa but recently got taken away from him because "there were 3 Mexicans in my house messing with Abraham Lincoln so I shot them" and now he has 3 bullet holes in his house

So I decided to finally trace the old Winchester I have as well (from my other grandpa that passed in the 90s) I have a Winchester model 1892 built in 1911 and a Winchester model 94 built in 1951 the model 94 is in pristine shape and the 1892 is still in decent shape
