Was visiting family this week and it brought back memories or our past and made me think of my two Great Grandpa's. Thought I would share this with you all. I have never posted this 38WCF Winchester before but I thought you guys if any would appreciate it.
My great grandfather on my dad's side was a marshal for the hanging judge in Ok. My brother has his 44/40 colt single action he used and my Great grandfather on my mother's side was the sheriff in Evansville Indiana in 1900 and some years to follow. My other brother has his 44/40 Winchester that he used.
I have his 38WCF Winchester that was used in the last years of his life as a law enforcement officer. It is in very good shape and the piece of wood off of the forearm was cause by a piece of brick that was busted off the corner of a building from a bullet shot at him during a shoot out with a thief.
Rifling is still good and it has only shot cast bullets but shoots them extremely well. Has been quit a few years since I shot it but just might shoot it again in the near future. I am told by my grand father on my mother's side when I was a young boy that my Great grandpa could really shoot and he taught my grand father how to shoot and my grand father taught me.
