very neat to have a family heirloom to pass on , thanks for sharing. thumb1
Beautiful. That there is a "keeper". Is .32-20 WCF hard to come by these days?

Thanks gents!
Yeah, I think its pretty hard to find. I do however have the bullet casting tool and reloading supplies. :)
Correction.
GM tells me 32-20 is all over the place, perhaps I haven't dug deep enough. I won't be shooting this rifle much if at all anyhow.
That is a gem in so many ways. A beautiful and valuable rifle and great family history. 8) thumb1
Surprised nobody noticed its been reblued.
Also been relined.... was 100% shot out with no rifling. :o
Heres the other family treasure. :)

I couldn't care less about that!
What a rich history that has. You are a very lucky man.
A real beauty.
doesn't get any better then family heirlooms, there priceless. thumb1
Thanks fellas....
I have some ammo for it... Just looking for a good opportunity. thumb1
Very Nice.
I got a Marlin 30-30 two years ago, and have not yet taken it out to the range. Nowhere near as nice as this Winnie.
This post has convinced me to get it to the range next week.
Thanks for positing
I know this is an old post but I have to respond. That is one of the coolest family heirlooms ever. That is awesome.
LC, I don't know how I missed this post. Thats a beauty!!
Since we're necro posting this thread, could we have some more detailed pictures of that case?

Since I’m pretty sure I resurrected this thread I would like to second this notion. More pics please of this beautiful firearm.
LC, hasn't been around much, I don't think. So I don't think those requests will be answered anytime soon.
Maybe be not, doesn’t hurt to ask though
Notice the graceful design, every line smooth and the gun no heavier built than necessary.
That's something most modern manufacturers could apply to their massive modern actions and stocks.
I bet that action is smooth as a baby's bottom.
That's a beautiful piece of work and a real treasure. Very nice rifle and very well cared for all these years.
Thanks for giving us a look at it.
I'd shoot a few rounds just to hear it speak.
