Cool!
A friend of mine offered to give me a Model 67 that's in near perfect condition knowing i love Winchesters.
i told him to keep it for his little boy that's was around 3. Should be big enough to shoot it about now.
I'm glad he kept it.

Re: Big and little
I do have a Speed Six, but it's not stainless and it's also kind of a rare dog. It's part of a contract over run in near new condition. I've researched it a few times, but still haven't come up with what org. or country they were made for.

I was given a Stevens Favorite, that I still have, long before I was allowed to have a BB gun. My dad's thinking was that I would get into trouble with a BB/ pellet gun. Truth be told, I caused a whole lot more mayhem with my slingshot.
