I've looked at a lot of Winchester pump guns and every once in a while I buy one. I have a collection of Cutts guns as well as a useful stash of Simmons literature. I also have an example of most varieties of Simmons rib installations on Winchester guns. Collectors found out many years ago that Simmons employees who know about the early days are all gone. Apparently, the new generation is going to be a big help to Parker collectors.
