A couple of Winchesters

[Phil Yearout]

Since we're showing our rifles, here's about as basic a pair as you'll find; a Model 94 in .30-30 and a Model 61 .22LR...

I like the wood on your 94 - what's the year of production?

I have one made, I think, in about '39 with some figure in the butt stock.

Dean, it's not all that old; 1978. I agree it does have a nice stick of wood compared to many.

In my opinion, the model 61 was the finest pump 22 Winchester made. Even better than the model 90s that I also love. I have 3. The neatest is a pre war in 22 shot. Looks just like a mini model 12. Great guns.

I've owned a few Model 61's and like them, but have long remembered watching the gunsmith at the Argonaut Gun Shop in Modesto CA while he was setting back a 61 barrel. He told me that the angled section of the breech where the extractor rests when bolt is in battery, will deform into the chamber over VERY LONG use. Just passing along a vignette from when my bride and I were transferred to CA; that was well before modern microtig welding was developed.

I really like my little Model 90 in .22 WRF. It must have been ordered for a youngster or a small lady with a very short LOP and a 16" hex barrel. A great little rifle to tend a trap line with.
