Re: Question on Winchester 71 Value?
I would imagine that an unfired, long-tang, with a bolt peep would go for at least $10k ... possibly more. I base this on seeing some similar 71's around 95% condition at around $6500. The problem is ... you just don't see a lot of pristine early (long tang) 71's with the bolt peep. I'd say you're r...

Re: Winchester weld repairs
I would think that it would be a bit difficult to get the bluing to look exactly right on the area where the TIG filler is exposed. I suppose you could come close by selecting the right filler rod. Perhaps as long as it wasn't polished to a high luster it would be more difficult to tell.
