The Winchester Book

[KWK]

I've seen this book (by George Madis) mentioned in these forums many times, and I finally requested a copy through the library. What a treat this book is! The variety of options Winchester offered up to (I gather) 1908 made for some extraordinary rifles. I'm feeling an urge to modify some hapless Uberti into something unique but along the lines of what Winchester once offered. I do recommend this book.

It has, for many years been referred as the Winchester "Bible". As for altering a Uberti in the tradition of a Winchester... go for it! But post pics!

You can bid to purchase one on the leverguns safari auction that we are holding in April. It is a signed copy too!

I have one also. It is a wonderful book. It sits on my coffee table and I refer to in on a daily basis.

First the hard part: I must decide which of those gorgeous old rifles I most want to copy. Some of those long barreled 73s and 92s are calling for me...

+2...the most useful book there is for shooting old Winchesters. The other MUST HAVE for any gunners library is the set of P.O.Ackley's "Handbook for Shooters and Reloaders"...real information for experimenters and real shooters.

the collectors series by arthur pirkle are good info too,
as well as the winchester 94 by bob rennerberg,
sounds like he's winding up for a new edition too.
