A&E of Bottles

Had an 1894 in 30-40 Krag. If you hit a deer wrong with that thing it would sure make a mess.

My grand mom used a 1909 model Winchester snakecharmer lever action 22 and she was good with it. She would bait a deer up close and shoot it in the head. She said that it wasn't for sport or antlers. She also used it for squrrils, rabbits and the odd robin.

Check it out, pretty much the only change since '07 is that it's been "Cheney-ized" []

Here's lil brother. Another beautiful thing []

I think that the model '94 is the most beautiful rifle ever designed, the P-51 Mustang takes it for planes, the '68 GTO for cars (sorry Roaddog, the mopars take a very close second though), and the Python/Anaconda series for revolvers. I'm halfway there, but that P-51's gonna be tough...

Speaking of WINCHESTER here's an 1890's gun oil bottle. Chip on base but kept it anyway, haven't seen many around.

Hey Cliff, Very neat bottle. Only seen one other and it was a sample size.
