Mark has done some great repair and cosmetic work on several of my guns.
Any guesses as to what this gun hunts?

I have been very pleased with Mark's work blending an extension on a gun for me sometime back. The finish has held up well through several seasons in the field, much more durable Than I would of thought.

Ouch!!! To all Winchester Model 21 fans. To me the Winchester Model 21 was always trying to live up to the incredible reputation established by its older brother, The Model 12.

but never quite made it though, and ended up just living off its Winchester name a lot like the 24......

Its one hell of a name. Ask the Turks or better yet ask the Russians!!!!

The Plevna Delay
Winchesters and Peabody-Martinis in the Russo-Turkish War


A small Turkish army is trapped, but with the help of surprising firepower, they hold up the entire Russian Campaign for over five months.


"Europe, and most other parts of the world, had been following "The Plevna Delay," as it was being called in the newspapers. Reporters marveled at the fact that so few Turks were holding up the entire Russian offensive. The value of the rapid-firing Winchesters was never properly recognized by the press or non-Turkish military men, but in many war rooms around the world, decisions were later made to replace outdated big bore rifles with faster shoot­ing rifles of smaller caliber and higher muzzle velocity. The Turkish High Command placed an immediate order with Winchester for another 140,000 repeating rifles. These gen­erals had no need for further tests and trials. They knew what worked."
