Yabba dabba doo Better than new !
« on: December 13, 2008, 01:21:10 PM »
I bought a beautiful model 100 winchester. It wouldn"t eject ! Three gunsmiths later it still didn"t work. So I was going to sell the parts. I found another smith who said he would look at it. I let him have it and told him to take his time. Today he called and said it worked fine. Something to do with the chamber and nato rounds vs factory fodder.( had to work on the chamber) Don"t understand what he was talking about but said he could now take it appart and put it togather blindfolded. 800 rounds later without a jam we called it good. Darn thing is accurate ! and so pretty, it was a special    factory order  made in 1961.
   The smith is Marty Krewson 1-636-452-3459 in Hillsboro Mo. I will sleep good tonight !

That's great news Country Boy! Happy that you got it working. I had a Model 100, .284 Win, in my younger days. Loved that rifle but I sold it because at the time I wanted a truck more. Looking back, I wish I'd kept the rifle.
