WHAT'S NEW AT ARMCO?
April 1, 2010:
I
had my friend (and bluing/wood guru :) Jim Ford do a complete restoration on my
1907 Winchester 351 Self-loader.
What a job! He even found an envelope with a Saskatoon to Brandon postmark
inside the buttstock, dated 1938. This gun was made in 1910, and it was a
favourite of prison guards into the 40's... I suspect it may have been carried
on the walls of the Prince Albert Penitentiary until privately purchased,
possibly by this guy when he retired and then sold in 1938.... Hmmm.... I
have a little ammo and know how to make more - at present this rifle is
not
for sale :)

And now - a bit of a Photo Gallery picked at random from the last few years:
