[QUOTE="nwhunter, post: 2894975, member: 30991"] My most memorable firearm is my 1890 Winchester my father gave me when I was 9. It had belonged my grandfather who had given it to my dad when he was around 10. Dad had re barreled it to 22lr from 22wrf because between him and granddad they had shot out the barrel. It had headspace issues as the receiver was worn and when firing it made a loud crack if you didn't keep the pump for end pushed forward with pressure against it. I don't have any idea how many 1000's of 22lr I put through that gun, but it was a lot. It was my constant companion and went with me most of the time. When I graduated high school dad gave me a Ruger 10/22 sporter, and I retired the old Winchester. About 20 years ago I found an original model 1890 22wrf barrel that had a good bore and re barreled the old gun back to original chambering, I don't shoot it much but it's one gun I will never sell.
