Hello All, My name is John Webb. I've lived in Oregon for most of my life. Grew up using pre-64 winchesters, Never really thought about collecting firearms until about 5 years ago. Probably have an equal mixture of rifles VS shotguns. My favorites are model 12 shotguns, as I am a pretty active trapshooter. In todays age of alloy receivers and stamped parts. I have found myself really appreciating the craftsmanship of the pre-64 winchester era guns. I know it probably is just in my head, but these guns feel better to me when I'm shooting, not to mention that it is intriguing to buy a used gun knowing that it came before me, and will more than likely outlast me. I often times wondered, who owned them before me, and what stories they could tell, if they could talk. Call me nostalgic. Will look forward to learning, and discussing guns Winchester. Thank You for creating this site!

Hi Longliner. Glad you joined this forum!

Greetings Longliner. Welcome to the forum. I too, am a fan of the Model 12 and collect them as well as a few other Winchesters.

Thanks for the great welcome! I will try to learn how to post pictures this winter, but I've got to tell you, computer knowledge is not a strong suit for me.

Greetings longliner , from the UK
