Winchester question

Not sure if this is a stupid question or not, but anyway, I was going thru my fathers gun cabinet and came across a Winchester model 65, It said it was a 30 WCP of 30WCF caliber. Is this possible as I cannot find any in the Blue Book that say such a caliber. The gun is in 90-95% condition all original.

    While at the barbers getting a haircut, I read a hunting magazine...Petersens Hunting magazine I believe and noticed that Winchester came out with its semi auto rifle with a adjustable stock available in the same calibers, but now included is the 325WSM...I checked the Winchester web page and see no mention of this...has anyone heard anything different or other information...I enjoy the semi autos FYI...Thanks.

    I picked up a Winchester Classic Sporter XTR. Does anyone know what the XTR stands for?

    What's the difference between a Winchester Trapper model and a Winchester 94 model?

    Exactly how/why is the M-94 an improvement over the M-92. I kinda like the action of the 92 where the bottom of the receiver doesn't drop when the lever is used.

    Can anyone tell me what year Winchester went from nickel steel to proof steel barrels on the Model 12?

    Bert, Cartod, and the rest of you guys...Have a question on the dollar value of a "supposed" "original" Winchester framed Bullet Display. Found one advertised in a local paper for what I thought was out in left field....educate me cause it would look great in the office.

    Model 94 AE S# 5283XXX / what does the AE stand for & about how old? Second- on the outer edge of the barrel aprx. from 1 to 2 o'clock if looking into the chamber from the primer end of the shell it has A chip out of the barrel. The chip is about 1/8 to 3/16 wide x 1/16 deep. ?? Don't know when or what caused this. Do you think this is or could be A problem in shooting this gun. I wwould take A picture & post but don't know how. If someone will email me I will send them A picture to look at instead of me trying to explain where & what the chip looks like. Any help??

    I'm thinking about getting one of the new 9410 shotguns. I have no experience with lever action guns. Does it have a transfer bar safety, such as the new model Blackhawks,or any type of safety that makes it safe to leave the hammer down on a loaded chamber? Or do you need to leave the chamber empty like the old Blackhawk or Colt SAA? It doesn't say on the Winchester site.

    In a Win. model 70, post 64, how many action lenghts are made? And what is the distance between the action screws for each lenght? I just bought a take off stock with very nice figure, and want to refinish, and use. Problem is it looks like it has been inletted for two different action lengths, and everything does not line up right, (action screws, and bolt handle notch). THX HAWKSHAW

    In this auction, the seller mentions a star on the stock.

    Did Winchester do this at the factory?

    I just looked through the latest catalog and there is no listing for any Winchester chambered in .450 marlin, I wonder, is Winchester trying to compete with Marlin, lets hope, I love my little 450 but I like competition, maybe a shortend .458 or a 450 WSm.......I await with joy, need more details, I am growing dizzy with anticipation!

    Folks it`s a little more simple than that..let`s come right out with it...the the co-worker don`t know what he is talking about.To some people think every John Wayne lookin` levergun is a Winchester,just like some peaple think every 99 Savage is a 300 Savage.I had a guy tell me he wanted a 243 Remington..after asking a few questions it turns out he was talking about a 742 in 243.About a year later another guy came into a shop where I was helping out,and wanted a "243 semi automatic,strictly a Remington"So I says " Like a 742?"...he says,in a know it all way"NO,...A 243!!"Sorry S.O.B....deserved to be kicked in the cods!!.281

    Nov issue Guns&Gear pg 30: Talking about Browning re-introducing the Winchester Model 1895 in .270 Quote "As any gun guy would have predicted, shooters ignored the gun, leaving Browning with a lot of guns and no market ... they are rebarreling them in .405 Winchester"Its as close as I could come to the 450 winchester remark-Ralph

    I read today, saw it with my own eyeballs.....Winchester is producing a Custom Shop gun in............ .450 Marlin......I just wonder if this is waht he might have read, besides, I got a call in to my local dealer to see what he will sell it for, anyone have any ideas or maybe a price I might be in the market.

    REB Jr... Interesting, Browning rebarelling it's m1895/.270 to .405. Winchester itself is sitting on top of its entire run of its m95s in 405 even after 2 years since production was over. Could it be that the original m95 in .405 had a much stronger receiver than any of the other calibers? I wonder if they are blowing up in post production tests??
