I just found out I'm getting an HRA. Mine has been hand picked by someone for me. I wanted a Winchester if he could find a decent one. He said they were bottom of the barrel. So he picked out a nice HRA for me. I should see it the beginning of next week.

Awesome.
I think I saw the chit-chat between you and Magna on the CMP forum
(Or it might've been someone else looking for a Winchester and getting a SA instead.) Had I known he was going sooner, I would've given him an order for a HRA.

I was going to have Magna pick one out for me... but the USPS lost my paperwork in the mail.
Still trying to decide if I want to go direct through the CMP or wait til the fall when he said he might make another trip.

I got this in a trade from a fellow NES member yesterday. Its a tackdriver.

My wife's like that! No, wait... she shoots, too.

What will you do with the tax refunds ?![[grin]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/041.gif "Grin [grin]")
I'm saving my portion, and combined with a couple of stipends I hope to get a very nice Milsurp towards the end of the summer.

Magna picked me out a nice Winchester last year. What a great guy to deal with.

I'm going to need some help from our gurus of old rifle lore.
I just acquired the following .22 rifles:
Hamilton Model 19 (I found some information about this online... my father-in-law remembers that these were given out to paper carriers). It has a brass-lined stamped barrel, and is missing the rear peep sight.
Stevens Crack Shot 26
Stevens Model 56 Bought for $15 used in the late '60s. Refinished stock.
Stevens Model 87A My father-in-law took his first two deer with this rifle.
Remington Model 24 Take-down Needs some parts replaced and some stock repair / replacement. Missing magazine follower / spring / end.
Savage Model 1904 Found on nails in a barn. Stocks were refinished and it was re-blued.
and a Stevens 20 gauge.

Nice gun, great round!
Absolutely didn't need another one, but I can never walk away from a nice example.

Awww. When I get myself some land I'm gonna get a dog. One of these days...
Got this from another member yesterday. The one on the top is what I bought. Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter 44mag. One on the bottom I already owned.
Glock pad underneath those?

it looks like it just came out of the box for the first time. Amazing pick up. Very nice.
Thanks for the kind words. It's definitely been shot, but it cleaned up well. I think the pictures make it look better than it is. I intend it to be a shooter.

My M1 arrived from the CMP today. It's an HRA and it has a WRA trigger group. I have plenty of HRA trigger groups so I can swap it out. Here it is. I'm at work so I can't get a good photo yet. There are too many people here at the moment.
Sweet HRA. What serial number range did you get?
What a handsome pup!
