WACA Members on Paco Kelly's Lever Guns
I belong to Winchester Arms Collectors Association, really enjoy the quarterly they put out, mostly about old lever guns. I read every page. How many of you also belong to the WACA ? Just curious.

Re: WACA Members on Paco Kelly's Lever Guns
I was for a little while. I too enjoyed some of the magazine content. But flipping through my saved issues I found more advertisements for auctions and collector's trying to build their collections than actual feature content related to the firearms. I likewise came to the realization that at age 28 I am no collector, and regardless of how much I lust after this rifle or that one, I wouldn't enjoy owning a collection of fine rifles as much as I do using my current "battery of beaters". My interests lie more in the technical areas than the historical.
Thus, I stumbled upon this forum and fine group of people, and although I'm afraid I rarely have anything to contribute, I GREATLY enjoy the postings of others enjoying the use of their arms as I do.
But- I still reconsider my membership just because I wonder what I'm missing...

Re: WACA Members on Paco Kelly's Lever Guns
I am not a member, but my brother-in-law belongs. He passes the magazines along to me and I in turn pass them along to others. I agree that they are mostly advertising, but what articles there are can be very good reading.

Re: WACA Members on Paco Kelly's Lever Guns
I've been a member for quite a while now, I enjoy the collector magazine & the calendar. I got to be a guest speaker for them a few years back at the western show in Reno, & I won the raffle & picked up a Model 70 30-06 side levergun. A great bunch of folks.

Yes, I forgot about the calendar, they are great I have one in my office. I intend to go to the show in Cody in the near future,
must have been much joy attending and speaking for them. Congrats.

Re: WACA Members on Paco Kelly's Lever Guns
I'm kind of surprised there aren't more of this lever gun crazy bunch who are part of WACA. I thought I was probably just a late comer to WACA within this group. The info on lever guns is just amazing, some very detailed, some just great to see. I treasure my quarterly more than any other gun magazine I get. Does anyone think that WACA may not be very well known?

I would have joined but years ago I drilled and tapped a 1902 model 1894 32 special that had been my grandpa's. Have been banned for life.
This is plagiarized from someone else, but I love it!
I was born a gun owner.
It wasn't a choice.
I didn't become one later in life.
I was born this way.
