Well Edward R. Southgate woke this thread back up by liking my post. Which really doesn't matter other than reminding me about 71's and CZ's Browning.
So I wanted to post a couple of pictures of a, lets call it a hybrid original Winchester 71. In other words a nicely Bubbed 71.
When I got it, it had a 20" barrel, flat band around the barrel and full length magazine tube, Lyman receiver site and of all the unforgivable things, a Monte Carlo stock of a very short length of pull at 12 inches. All in all excepting the stock, nicely done. I did after a couple of years of watching eBay come up with a original short tang stock. I had been find one occasionally for $150 to $200. Not interested. But one day as luck would have it I was on eBay and I came across the original stock which had just been posted for $20 "buy it now". Bingo. Did not come with a butt plate, and I just happen to like 14 to 14.5 inch length of pull, so add on a Decelerator pad and be done. So a couple of pictures.
I also found a LEE 6 cavity 350 250 gas checked mold that was a group buy, which came with a Lyman .350 sizer die for $80 shipped.
CZ did you ever get a mold from Tom? I'm interested in what you may have turned up. I'm looking for a heavy in the 280 grain range and a light weight around 200 grains.
