Not in my lifetime J-M! I strip down, clean and lube all my Winchesters- now the few doubles in my Gun Safe- that is another story- as old Clint Eastwood once said "Man's gotta know his limits" and working on a fine double, compared to stripping down and re-assembling something basic like a M12, M70 or M-1 Garand, that's for the experts-and we have them "In Spades" on this BBS-I yield to their expertise- but as my Grandfather owned and ran a successful machine tool shop, I have some background in that area-and two nice old Gerstner tool boxes with the Hallmark names like Lufkin, Brown and Sharpe, Stanley and others-of a by-gone age- No "Yaka-saki" tools, guns or motorcycles clutter up my life-never have, never will! And just as they say "You can't outshoot your gun, outwalk your boots, or outtalk a fool"- Charles Nicholson page 96 Game Country Magazine Jan/Feb 1990- Also, same issue- best hunting story I've read NOT written by Hemingway or Faulkner by same Southern Gent'man- "A Deer For Cholly Dorman" RWTF
