Winchester Model 06

[MrBrian]

So, I walked into my local gun store, and I couldn't walk out with out it....

 

Winchester Model 06    22S/L/LR

 

The stock has seen better days, but not horrible since it was made in 1907-1908 (I'm finding debating information according to the serial number)   Hopefully I'll get to plink a few cans when it stops raining!

I have a similar, but later model. Mine is a 62A. It is a tack driver. I suspect yours will be as well. Winchester built very high quality guns the fist half of the 20th century.

It's weird, because everything I read says that if the serial number is below 113000, it's a first model, 22 short only.....  but mine is 111000 range and it's 22s/l/lr....    Also, it seems one of the previous owners tried to carve his name in the stock... it's hard to make out but it looks like "MR KL-IC"   I don't know what name that would be, but that just adds to the intrigue of it's history...

The first one is currently sideways, but it should be fixed soon...  sorry that you can't really see the targets, but I just used my smartphone camcorder...  Enjoy

If I start missing with it, you can have it.... but I don't see that happening any time soon :-)    It really is a fun little gun...  It takes me back in time to an era where carnivals had these in shooting galleries
