I was given, yes given, a Winchester Mod. 94 Trapper 16" 45LC AE(pre-crossbolt safety) lastnite.
I went out to my uncle's family and friends cook/shootout lastnite. While we were shooting everything we brought he asked me if I wanted to try the Trapper that I've been drooling over for the last couple years. I of course said yes. lol I loaded up 3 rds(shootout rule, 3-6rds then next person's turn) and knocked down 3 iron plates. As I was grinning I turned back towards the family and my uncle said "why don't you just take that home with you." I said, "I don't have the money, you know I'm getting laid off here in the next couple weeks." He then said, "you didn't hear me correctly, I said why don't you take it home. Consider it an early Christmas gift."
Well, ahome she went.
Here's the new addition to my family. 45 Long Colt, only 1 really small mark on the wood on the port side.
