M12Gunboy, Here are a few pics of the old 1895. The date of mfg. is supposed to be 1898 based on a serial # search. As stated before it has a replacement butt stock, forend is original, no bluing and the rear sight was not original. The 30 US or 30 Govt. round is the same as the 30-40 Krag. The 1895's were chambered for several other rounds including 30-06. Traded a Win. 24 16ga. for this one and almost have regrets! Treefarmer
Again, U R the man! Nice property, awesome lever guns, great corn field-deer feeder, perm stands... Cool golf cart...
I am at a loss for words, that 1892 is a sweetheart too...
Any other quality Winchesters?
An old Marlin lever in 22LR. Not sure of the model #, but remember dad taking it to someone and he traced it back to the late 1800's. Check out the flip up peep sight
M12gunboy, There are a few more Winchesters, all are not lever guns, some I can't put my hand on right now, but these showed up for a family portrait. From left to right, Model 41, bolt action single shot 410ga mfg.1920-38, Model 74 .22 semi-auto, mfg. 1954, Model 06 .22 pump, mfg.1913, Model 62A .22 pump, mfg 1947, Model 94 30-30 lever, mfg 1953 and a Model 67A boys or Youth rifle, .22 mfg between 1934 and 1963. A lot of single shot and low end Winchesters did not have serial numbers so unless you are an expert, dating them is difficult.
I know a little history on a couple of these Winchesters. The Mod. 41 was used to shoot ducks on Tampa Bay by a young boy , who as an old man traded it to me as partial payment for building a fence probably 25 years ago. I traded a Santa Gertrudis bull calf for the 62A many years ago. The 94, came from Michigan. According to the guy I got it from, his brother bought it new and it had only been fired 3 or 4 times and put up. The guy moved to Florida, brought his brothers rifle with him and traded it to me for an old worn out horse trailer. It even came with the box of rifle shells that matched the story. It really looks good and I have never fired it. The Boys Rifle, the 67A was owned by an acquaintence who couldn't believe I would offer him a Marlin model 60 for an ol' single shot 22. :rolleyes Treefarmer
Very nice, I have a Model 67 Winchester, although it's not the shorter boys-youth version. Mine is the full length with the finger groove down the sides of the stock along the barrel on the front end. My grandfather bought it new in the early 30's. It's at my fathers house and is probably the best open sighted shooting .22LR I have ever had the pleasure of shooting. In the early 80's my father used to show off and shoot at 16oz glass coke bottles with the opening facing towards him and would shoot through the opening and neck of the bottle and blow the bottoms out at 50'. Unbelievable....
The Model 06 and 62A are gems!!!!
I am going to have to take some pics of my Model 12's and post them. Currently I only have 7, 3 - 12 gauges and 4 - 20 Gauges. I've been selling and trading the lower grade ones and upgrading my collection a gun at a time.
M12gunboy,
There's a couple more of them 67's hiding somewhere along with a Model 90 octagon bbl. that has some very fancy wood in the stock but the bbl. is completely shot out. If I remember right the 90 is .22 short only.
When I was a young buck, had a friend that worked for the Game Commission and his advice to all us gun collectors was "Have one rifle, one shotgun, one handgun and be able to shoot them well!" Could never quite follow his advice, but I do tend to hunt with the same rifle every year even though there are many to choose from. Same thing with knives, during deer hunting I carry the same ol' Queen 2 blade folding hunter that I have used for years even if there are dozens of new knives at the house. To each his own.
Would love to see pictures of your Model 12's and any others folks might like to share. I do enjoy lookin' at old Winchesters!
