Winchester-Lee Navy

[jmoore]

Looked at one yesterday that's in nice shape except the extractor juts flops about when the bolt is pulled back, apparently some little leaf sring is gone from the rear of the extractor. Anyway, its the best built design disaster I've seen in a military rifle accected for service! Yikes!!! Its so bad that its intriguing. Don't know price yet, though, enthusiasm may evaporate quickly if its too many "monies".

I just got one a couple of weeks ago. Complete and original but not as nice as I was expecting from the sellers description. It is cleaning up pretty nice though, the bore is not melted at all but it is dirty. Still have to pull the action out of the stock and detail that, took me a few hours to figure out how to get the bolt out and back in and also to strip it down and clean and lubricate it. Sort of reminds me of cleaning up my frist CMP Garand, just dirty and grungy from storage.

Just got the book from Amazon and leafed through it. Talked to Buffalo and all of thier 6mm Lee Navy reloading/ammo items are in stock. This is fun!
