winchester

variations on old Winchesters....never say never. A Cody letter plus a lot of research are needed to validate some of the combos out there... but anyone who handles old Winchesters sees something new from time to time.

loaning

i dont loan guns or tools. And all the guns I've given to my kids are on the condition I get them back if they dont want to care for them or use them. I guess that's a bit of an indian-giver thing...I'm funny like that.
