Sadly most of those Heroes are gone now. And sadder yet is how few of their descendants are even aware of their contributions and sacrifices for this world.

Yeah saw those ultra-rare "Paratrooper" mags. :super:
Yeah they approved a post card with nothing on it Addressed from NY he was actually in France at the time and he was moved up during the Bulge. It`s sad i`m the last one in my family that would even...
Was going through the boxes of old family photos i have been blessed to be left with and found a very interesting family treasure. This was sent days before my Uncle Ray was injured in combat on the...
I just have an issue with Winchester Service rifles in general right now. It looks nice next to the 1917. I really want a Winchester M1 Garand now to go with my 52 Springfield. But This is the first...
With those stamps readily available it seems a authentic one is harder and harder to prove.
No rust anywhere except the tiniest bit on the barrel band. I can`t imagine how the stock got so bad and the metal stayed so nice? All i know is the Rifles Gods were smiling on me when Classic sent...
I really do like the stock i imagine the hole is where they used it to fight off a lion. No ammo. ever used in it. I really like the mummified finger holding the sling.
I am more than pleased with what I got. I paid alot for an imported rifle but they are getting harder to find everyday. She shoots flawlessly. I am really hooked on Winchester service rifles now...
Nothing in the sling well. I want to believe i see something something on the left side below the bolt but... I can`t say there`s anything left. I love it. The stock sure shows her travels. I guess...
I almost want to believe i can see some stamps on that wood but NOOO.
Thank You painter777 . I see, Born on the 7th of July 43. Finally figured out how to resize my pictures. Her she is. She has a stock as black as coal and fully ventilated.
Just received a Winchester from Classic that has a ventilated stock. Winchester barrel and receiver are in great shape. Bore is what i would call excellent condition? Stock would make great fire...
Has a Winchester barrel and most other parts i have seen are also stamped Winchester. These Ethiopian Surplus rifles are a real role of the dice buying sight unseen. But i believe i have a nice...
Thank You Jangle. it`s kind of confusing figuring out the production charts i have seen.
So i picked up one of the Royal Tiger M1 carbines Through Classic Firearms and paid more than i should have but ended very Happy. So i believe it`s fairly low number 1,145,XXX. The rifle was sold at...
Oh yeah, i have come to really love that Cooey sight. I haven`t had the chance to get any real good ammo for her but she shoots garbage very well. I really like the way most cases are caught in the...
Beautiful rifle Sir, My 1917 Winchester is by far my favorite 30-06. They are great shooters.
Beautiful rifle and great shooting. It`s a blast to be able to play with these at a reasonable price.
Awesome examples Lance. love that Cadet. I have just got started with the 22 trainer bug and can see i have a long road ahead.

Okay you`re killing us. I can`t wait to see her. And get a range report. I love my trainer she shoots better than i can.
Outstanding Rifle, Miller Tyme. I was looking at those yesterday at Palmetto as i was putting together my new order and i was drooling at the thought and now I see the box and wish I had saved that...
I have been waiting patiently to see. Can`t wait to see and hear how she shoots. I love this rifle and It has opened up a new door for my collecting.... My wife is not exactly as excited about that...
She shoots great and I haven`t even tried any real good ammo in her yet. The firing pin sure hits hard enough just so far in from the edge it causes problems with some ammo. Going to get a box of...
I love my Winchester. I had a friend who had a ???? stock minus the hand guard he wanted $100 for and said I might want to look at... I threw the money at him when i saw it. I don`t care that it is a...
