    I have a model 71 .348 WCF that has been passed down through the family. The only thing that even looks like it might be a serial number is a 5 stamped on the bottom of the receiver just to the left of the front hinge of the lever action. its a very small area so if they were to try and put a...

    Hello all! I am curious to see what you folks think about this possible purchase I'm considering. It is a used gun and from what I inspected it is in good condition. It comes with a mounted scope, Simmons 8 point, 3-9X40. The gun is listed at 690.00 dollars. Would appreciate any insight on this...

    I’ll try to keep this history short. In 2019 I picked up a sx4 as a gift to myself. When patterning it, it got way high and to the right. After different loads and chokes and shooters, and the same result I sent it in. The POI was out of spec at their standards and Winchester serviced it. After...

    Good morning, I am trying to dissemble an antique 1885 falling block Winchester. The rifle’s action wouldn’t cycle like there was something blocking the action. I’ve got the trigger assembly out and the pin for the lever came out fine, but the action won’t fall out of the assembly. It is almost...

    Hi all, I have inherited my dad’s favorite hunting rifle, a 1948 Winchester 30-30. I will be picking it up soon and would like to buy a soft case for it. Can anyone tell me how long this rifle is and what type of case would fit well?

    Just bought a new Winchester 1885 Low Wall Rifle in 22 caliber. This, of course, is not a custom rifle and not as expensive as a custom rifle. Want to get the maximum accuracy from the rifle. So the question is, "What steps can I take to ensure that I am getting the maximum accuracy...

    I was looking through my spent brass casings from the range and I came across the Winchester ammo that had the NATO stamp and WMA stamp on it. I did not know what this was so I researched. I saw on one forum that to reload this brass, I need to swage the primer pocket. I’m not sure what this...

    Greetings, I inherited 4 old rifles from my late father. All 4 of them are brand new still in their original box and packing. I am very curious of their value and what (if anything) I should do to preserve them. In this post I am looking for advise on the Winchester, Model 47 from the group...

    Just got a Winchester model 70 XTR Featherweight chambered in .257 Roberts AI. The spacer in the magazine box pretty much limits the OAL to SAAMI specs, creating a big jump to the lands with higher BC bullets. If I wanted to have the rifle feed a longer OAL, could I just replace the magazine...

    Hello fellow enthusiasts! I inherited the rifle shown in the photos below. It seems to be in fully working order, the action works and the barrel is clear.

    This is another of dad's rifles that obviously got a good amount of use, although it appears to be in overall good condition. It has a Bushnell Sportview scope, which @Old Guns already indicated was a low-end model. Dad's inventory notes include: "20" Barrel Tube Feed" "3to6 Power Weaver V22...

    This is the first post of a recently inherited collection for which I'm trying to determine resale value. This rifle is by far the most interesting to me personally, as it is one of the few pieces I don't recall ever seeing from my father's collection. It appears to be some type of...
