    I found an original fore end and end cap on Epay a couple months ago. Finish and condition was a close match for my Winder. I think it cost me about $50 for the wood and $30 for the cap and screw.

    Does anyone know if this ammo is corrosive primed? I have some I'd like to shoot through a new AR but don't want to use it if it's corrosive. This ammo dates from 1951.
