Win 1892 25-20
I was given two wonderful gifts by an elderly Air Force friend, a 1904 Colt SAA .45 and a 1910 Win 1892 in 25-20. I appreciate that an elderly man giving away his guns is akin to a woman giving away her diamonds.
I have attached photos of the Winchester. My friend is originally from Havre Montana and he obatined this gun years ago in Great Falls. When he got it the stock was cracked and screwed as shown. With a Parker I would take out the screw, cover and disguise the hole and superglue the crack. I would not refinish any part of the gun. I assume the same holds true for a Winchester such as this. However, in an abundance of caution, I am checking to see if anyone has any counter thoughts.
By the way, the Colt comes with its ancient hand tooled leather hoster and cartridge belt with Mexican silver dollar concho. It's seen some use and was obtained in southern New Mexico.
Thanks,
Bruce Day, unrepentant Yankee Air Pirate and novice Parker apprentice.
