So I did a little Spring cleaning today.... took several guns out of my Cannon safe and gave them some attention!

This one in particular, got special treatment... a POLISHING!! It was long over due.

Thanks Weed!
That's the first time I've ever attempted to clean the metal since my Dad passed and I got it. Always was scared to! But the mirror finish came right back after all these years, thanks to the BEST metal polish in the world!! I've used it for many years so I trusted it smile

Nice rifle Bo, be proud you inherited it.

I believe that is a saddle model carbine. Years ago I had a Win 94 30-30 blued and never shot it. The 30-30 has probably killed more deer in upper part of Michigan than any other rifle. It is the ideal rifle for deer in the dense pine woods of the north. Great firearm. h.h.

I also have my father's Winchester 30-30 in the same version, Mike. Very accurate rifle if my old eyes can still aim it! laugh

Yessir, it's the "Cowboy Commemorative" model... says so on the barrel in white, with the saddle loop!

Weed, that's cool that you have your father's too! smile

Mine is the plain Jane version, but still holds lots of memories.
