I accrued a Winchester 06 in pretty good shape. Blue has turned a nice brown but no rust pits etc. and it works like a new one.
The stock has the half moon , crescent with the steel butt plate like the 1890 model. I figured it had been changed as the gun was made in 1923, so it has been around some time and those stocks are not the strongest. Talking to a guy with old Winchesters at a gun show this weekend and he told me some of the '06's came with the crescent stocks. Anyone know anything about this?
