    Winchester magazine question

    I have a Winchester UW magazine made by Union Hardware, flat bottom Type II. It's in new condition with oil paper. Is this a common magazine or not?

    Yes, it is a fairly common mag. Be careful about that wrapping. It is not an original wrapper. There is a good possibility of rust forming under it. I've seen that many times. People think they have a pristine mag and open it up to find heavy rust and terrible pitting.
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!
