    Garage rafter find Winchester

    Found this old rifle made in 1904 .Took it apart cleaned it up and it looks good to shoot. Will see on the range. It lost most of the blue but just a little surface rust . Most came off with little gun oil. Bore looks nice and clean not worn at all.

      Did you replace most of the action bolts?

              Good job on a nice old rifle, it looks like you've got it ready to take shooting.

              People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome.

                Curious.

                      Nice find.
                      With the condition its in, it would be an excellent candidate for a Turnbull restoration.
