My Winchester Model of 1917 US Army rifle turned 100 years old today, November 15, 2017. I celebrated by taking it to the range and firing off a few rounds. The old war horse performed well, as...

Nice pick! Really early serial number. It was made in November, 1917.

The wife and I drove to Phoenix, AZ in April and saw the effects of the wind, especially in Texas. Amarillo has to be the wind capital of the US. We saw wind generators all along I 40 and several...

My early and excellent shooting M1917 Winchester (Serial Number 65030) will be 100 years old in a couple months (November 15, 2017). I find it interesting that the technology that was incorporated...
