Recently moved to florida from up north. While checking out the LGS I came across a "basket-case" pre 64 model 94 that had most of the action parts I needed for the .25-35 I'm building. Picked it up for $60. I've seen the hammer with stirrup alone go for more than that, and I already had a hammer.

Not a purchase, but when we got down here my brother gave me a winchester model 67 .22. He doesn't shoot and had no use for it. I did a little research and found it was made, IIRC, prior to may of 1935.
Love those old Winchesters.

needless to say, but Florida has been very good to me so far!
