Thread: heirloom reborn

As a young lad I remember this rifle for killing the farm pigs it probably was either brought by my grandfather or great grandfather
As a enquisitive young lad wanting to know how things work I pulled it apart
Well it never went back together right and it never worked again :eek:
Well fast fwd a few decades it sat in the shed gathering dirt n rust forgotten
I then became more interested in hunting, guns, reloading etc


This was not how a winchester mod 04 22 short should be treated so my endeavor to hopefully restore it back to its former glory
so out went the call to find someone to help . I took it to my local gun shop and then to the local gunsmith no help from either after well over 6 months no progress :mad: so asked for help on the forum .up stepped a bloke from the waikato he said he would have a go but as long as I didn't want it in a hurry . Well I ve waited so long whats a few months more ..
Well its not completed yet but I finally got it back home after 18 mths this how it now looks

Thxs @Chop3r very happy here
