Who we are

We’re a small team of firearms curators on the hunt for the “good stuff” that sometimes can only be found in the gun safes of collectors and enthusiasts from days gone by. We scour the United States for vintage firearms, sometimes saving them from destruction to keep their heritage alive and pass them down to the next generation. Read More >

Featured this week are these Winchester Model 94 Centennial '66 lever-action rifles in .30-30. Serial number-81652 & 81653. Both rifles have some blemishes, dings, and scratches. However, the rifles have consecutive serials, one rifle has a 20-inch barrel and the other has a 26-inch octagonal barrel.⁠
In 1966 was the Winchester Repeating Arms Company's 100th year of operation. To commemorate this occasion, Winchester produced a run of collector Model 94 rifles, the Winchester Centennial '66. These were based on post-1964 Model 94's actions with a gold plated receiver and forend cap, brass "rifle" (curved) buttplate, saddle ring, and a heavy octagon barrel with a full-length magazine that is nicely polished and deeply blued. This is an extremely rare opportunity to own a matched set of very rare rifles!⁠

Is the Fall season getting you down? Didn't draw any tags and are hitting the wetlands in search of some greenheads? Outfit yourself with this Winchester Model 12 Heavy Duck pump-action shotgun in 12 gauge⁠ today! Known to your Grandads as the "Heavy Duck", this was a standout heavy hitter due to its ability to cycle 3" shells in the waterfowler era that only really knew 2 3/4" shotshells. The Winchester Model 1912 become one of the most popular shotguns of its day. Selling it first as the Model 1912, after WWI they simply marketed it as the Model 12. While the Model 97 hammer-gun was still in production as late as 1957, the hammerless M12 outsold it by more than 2:1. Popularly named the Perfect Repeater at its introduction, it largely set the standard for pump action shotguns over its 51-year high-rate production life. This particular Model 12 is also slam-fire capable!⁠⁠
