fyi...i like old new haven winchesters knowing that my uncle and friends most likely or maybe touched them at least once during construction. my uncle worked in the finishing dept. i like knowing a gun was made by family members and friends i knew and that it was made in my hometown area.
maybe thats why i like shooting high standards too.
i was a member of the seymour fish and game club for over 27 years. many old winchester employees shot there along with the now defunct bethany winchester club, across the street from my uncles farm.
the value of winchesters is more than function and quality to me. its more a personal thing.
someday i will own a m21. even if it is refered to as one step up from a 311.
