It was a gun shop in Bullhead City Arizona, but the name escapes me at the moment.

My gunsmith laughed when I asked him about it. He told be to just spray the hell out of it, clean the barrel, dry it off, and go shoot it some more.

Given the fact that I said not only in the thread title, but several times in the first and following posts, that I was not interested in NAYSAYERS, that I had HEARD IT ALL BEFORE, and that I SIMPLY DON"T CARE about "perceived value", you still felt it necessary to grace us with your wisdom on...

So, I should have done it to some gun that doesn't mean a rats ass to me, rather than something I treasure. Gotcha.

So, I'm guessing that my restoration bugs you.

Nope. Don't buy that at all.

Brains, and the sense to use them.

Is this to be an open carry demonstration, or just a march?

1949 Winchester Model 64 in 30-30.

Wow. Nice way to hose a "buddy".

Lots of "what if's" and "maybes" and such there. The gun now looks pretty much like it did when George bought it new, and that makes me happy. As to my heirs, well, if the fact that it's restored hurts them, that's just hard beans. I haven't bitched about ANYTHING that I've inherited, but...

Thanks for a great read. I'm with you completely. My favorite toy store doesn't "push" anything, especially an agenda. I can walk in, browse, bs with them a bit, and leave with no pressure.

I'm partial to the six shot, mostly I guess from tradition. Seven shots just don't seem "right".

It belonged to a buddy's dad. He bought it new. After he passed, my friend said I could have it if I helped him sell his dads other guns.

And please refrain from telling me what a huge mistake I made in having this restored. I've heard it all before, and frankly I just don't care. This gun means the world to me, and will be passed down in my family. "Value" is of no meaning in regards to this pistol. I got this gun from my...

OOPs! I posted it in the wrong section! Maybe a Mod could please move it??

This belonged to the father of my dad;s best friend growing up. Somehow, my dad ended up with it, and I recently was given it by my oldest brother. I believe it dates to around 1921 or 1922.

I agree that the barrel looks funky. I believe they make one with a shorter barrel, but it's an SBR, and again, I can't legally own one here.
