    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

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.
