All I can tell you with any certainty is that the first serial number block assigned to Winchester is 1,000,000 - 1,349,000. (Technically they produced #6-10, but that's most likely prototypes). So your Winny is very early. First production run. I thought my books had date charts but they don't. However I'm pretty sure that it's 1942-43. There is an endless supply of information on these awesome guns on the CMP forum. Ask there and you'll have an answer. Quick. Would love to see some Pics! Might be able to help even more.

Aah, Bach. That is highly significant. Anyone know where those come from? Hint: TV show.

coldblackwind already has one out back.... http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/hunting/23392-theres-superhighway-trail-behind-me-house.html The reason I say that is the pic of the turdage that's somewhere in that thread. Looks like it might be Elk size.

Sounds good to me.

Keep Austin Weird.

Midway has some HotShot for $23.49. That's the best I've seen.

This guy has diarrhea of the mouth, or keyboard.

I usually does seem to clear out after we get there. Beginning to think all the non-stop Mosin blasting disturbs those who are trying to "aim".

Why not a left hand version of that same holster? Just wear it outside on the right side.

Well third Saturday is this Saturday! I've got a feeling there will be several of us going up to Norris.

So how does bear taste?

Off the top of my head... Stefano's in Knoxville and, BBQ pizza from Coletta's in Memphis.

Find new friends.

I'm feeling the need for some Memphis-style bbq spaghetti. Makes me wanna dance just thinking about it.

Take out the oatmeal and that's what you've got!

That ain't right. Any of it!

Not too different from groundhogs. We've got those.

What it is! What do you can this thing? Looks like a PPSh but different.

Sweet tea is a little like popcorn. There's only one way to make it. In the case of tea that sugar needs to be boiled into it. The only way to make popcorn is on the stove, in a good pot, with some Wesson oil.

Do they call it Soda or Pop?

Is it a prototype?

I think it's coated in wax or something 'cause it's mighty slick.

I kinda thought that's what this was all about: http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/general-off-topic/23613-can-we-just-have-thread-talk.html Heck I'll play. Took the afternoon off work and have just been farting around in the garage trying to create order out of chaos.

You might be cussing me when you try to get the thing open! You'll need, at a minimum: a hammer, crowbar, chisel, biggest screwdriver you can find, and possibly a torch or saw. Or you may get luck and the top will just peel right off.
