Winchester 71 & 94 Made it home
I picked up my 71 yesterday. It is a 1957 vintage, that has been very well taken care of by the previous owner & member here, Mulder.
It has just a little bit of honest ware, looks like someone may have had it in the woods a few times.
The wood is beautiful, pictures don’t do it justice.
This is the first time I have ever handled a 71, man it's built, the action is a work of art!
I can't wait to get some loads built and see how she shoots.
Here are a few pictures.
I also got another 94 from Mulder, it is a 1954. It will be a great truck gun for my 54 Chevy Pick Up
I'll have to gets some pictures with them together

Beautiful wood on the 71! I had a Chevy truck of that vintage back when I was going to college. It was about twelve years old then. It had a nice place to store a pint for the cold Fridays after class to start the weekend off with a bang. It was behind the seat next to the door if I can remember back that far.
Love that 71 especially. I had the chance to pick a very nice one up for about $700 right before the Winchester plant closed. Instead I took the cash and picked up two Trails End levers in 44 and 357.
I sold them both last year during the frenzy. Now it looks like it would take all the cash I got back to buy a '71 in similar shape.
It is one of my big regrets.

Meanc, I bought a full auto Uzi back in 2000 and just sold it at a great profit!
I'm reinvesting that profit back into guns that I'm more interested in, like the 71 & 94 also the Browning 1886 I bought from Dennis.
So far that Uzi has turned into four nice rifles, that far surpass the stamped sheet metal Uzi in my way of thinking
