Re: New Winchester 94 Book
Thanks. I just ordered myself a copy. I ordered a $9 copy of Sarah Palin's book while I was there, too. It got me over the $25, free-shipping threshold. Ironically, I just traded into a 1958-vintage Win94 to go along with my 1938 model, last weekend. I've been studying the differences between the two.
