Posted: Wed Mar 23, 2016 4:03 pmI, obviously, am new to the forum. I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of VA, on the Shenandoah Valley side. I only recently (about 3 years ago) got into guns, but I'm sure you know how it goes- in for a penny, in for a pound. I love them, as a sport. I don't hunt, but I do love to target shoot, admire the splendid machines that they are, and I enjoy getting to know different brands and models.
Which is what brings me to the forum- until recently, I didn't own any Winchester guns. My first was a Springfield handgun, then the second was a Sig Sauer. I got whole hog into Sigs, which I still do favor. But, along the way, I bought a Ruger AR and an SR1911, some Glocks, a few Henry rifles, a sweet 1972 Marlin 336, and a Weatherby shotgun.
Then, two days ago, my father decided to give me some of his guns, while we can enjoy them together. In the bunch was a Winchester 94 in 30.30, and a Winchester 1887 12 gauge lever action. Which is what brings me here, primarily- the 1887. I will post in the appropriate forum, and I look forward to some wisdom and insight into this amazing old shotgun.
