Don’t talk to me or my son ever again.
The Model 1903 rifle was Winchester’s first commercially available self-loading firearm, and featured many similar visual elements as their more famous lever guns. The gun’s action used a balanced breech block tuned to Winchester’s proprietary round, which required a slight redesign when it was switched to the overwhelmingly more popular .22 LR in the 1930′s.
Also note the progression from Lyman sights to a fancy new scope. What will they invent next.
