Added another one to the fold

It's a Winchester Model 97 and based on the serial number was built in 1945. I thought one of the cool features was that it was stamped by the Salt Lake Police dept. It is the tightest Model 97 I have ever felt and is in pretty nice shape overall.

Here are some pics:

That is in really nice shape for an ex-cop gun! It must not have been mounted in a cruiser, it probably sat in a locker at the station.

I have an ex-PA DNR Remington 870 and it looks very "used".

The problem with America is stupidity. I’m not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why don’t we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
