Win. 1917 welded ?
I recently bought a Winchester Model 1917 30/06 and was very pleased with it. I noticed when I bought it the finish was slightly lighter about the middle of the receiver on both sides. I showed the rifle to a co worker yesterday and he said it looked like a reweld. I'm a auto mechanic and have seen lots of welds. There is no sign of welding other than the finish being dis-colored. Has anybody heard of a 1917 receiver being welded? thank you
