thank you for sharing

Yes, beautiful, according to the text he didn't get to use if before he was assassinated.

President Eisenhowers Winchester 21 was a standout for me. DDE and five stars plus plenty of wear. A winner.

Thanks for sharing Fred.

Based on my other thread about a 30-30 Win 94 I though it was cool that Winchester gave Model 94 SN 1,000,000 to America's 30th President (1923-1929), Calvin Coolidge

Yes, "Silent Cal" from Vermont, I hope he was a better shot than a President.

When I was in 5th or 6th grade we had an assignment to do a book on all the presidents up to that time which included Harry Truman (a favorite.) Poured heart and soul into that assignment, about the only thing that I did.  No internet, hand written pages from Comptons Pictured Enclyopedia, snail mail pictures of each president and postage stamps collected into something I thought was brilliant.  Teacher wasn't about to give this juvenile delinquent an "A" so I settled for a B+ which at that time brought my average up to something in the D- range.  

My Winchester 94 came from a cousin, I have his sisters Beretta .25.  My Springfield 1864 with the 1866 Allin conversion was a pass down from my Dad.  I also have pass downs from Chairman Mao and Uncle Joe, and a couple from Winston.
