Just a series of pics of my '39 vintage Winchester Model 62 and '28 vintage Remington Model 12-C.
All of the pictures are clickable for full sized images. Of course they are out of order and show from newest to oldest but...
A lot of rubbing with steel wool and oil worked the rusty film away and brought the color back out.
Lyman sights front and rear really help make the Remi a tack driver.
The Remi was missing the back half of the firing pin but Numrich was able to help make the magic happen. It also needed a lot of rust remediation and removal as seen by the barrel.
Shooting them both the Winchester cycles flawlessly. The Remington struggles a little because it handshakes the rim up through a slot to the bolt. One neat thing is when you cycle the Remington the feed tube moves back with the handle. Both are accurate out to 40 yards versus a 8" steel disc shooting offhand and are quiet enough with the 23" and 24" barrels to not need ears. Both of these old gentlemen are a blast to shoot and enjoy. The Remington a little more with the iron sights though. Just put the front pipper on the target and center the ghost rear ring around it and the steel jumps.
