Winchester Carbine Things "heard" and "understood" with no provable source are considered rumors. Here is an all Winchester Carbine that is great. It went through upgrade adding the revised parts (sight, safety, bayo lug, etc.) No "cobb" on this one. Post wouldn't allow the pic.

Guess why you rarely see a used Mdl. 7 for sale.

In the past I've owned a Bushmaster and five Colts. Now I own one Colt and a just purchased DPMS. The DPMS runs perfectly, the fit and finish is just as good as any Colt I have owned and the trigger pull is better. Needless to say, it cost a heck of a lot less.

Yep Vern, it was my older brother. He bought it new in '51.

I got the plastic grips with the one I just bought, but didn't add them in the picture. The second gun given to me had the factory target and instruction booklet.

AR vsKel Tec He wanted a AR-15 not a Kel Tec. They are not the same thing.

Like these two different ones.

As one Gramp to another. My eye doctor has been trying for a couple of years to determine what my problem is (telephone poles, guy wires, etc. have a distortion at the point of the pole where I concentrate my eye). Finally a retina specialist found I have the on set of macular degeneration...

This post from last December should help one decide how much they need to spend on an AR-15........deciding how it will be used. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=243382

I purchased the DPMS for a knock around gun that will spend most of the time in the truck. I had a Bushmaster that was a great rifle and my two Colts are really great.
