I have bought two winchester and found our the are not original. Barrel changed or cut off and ect. Is there any thing I can look for before buying. It seems like I pick the sellers with no returns.

    You should buy Bert's book on Winchesters.

    We just had a thread about this recently, i.e. buying guns that aren't returnable.

    My take is that you have to buy it from a reputable dealer that allows a 3 or more day inspection period.

    Also have access to a very knowledgeable collector or dealer who will verify the Winchester(s) with a hands-on. Even if you have to pay for this service.

    Doing this is way better than getting stuck with some turd, that you payed way to much for.
