    I just picked up two more pistols today at an auction. I got one for a fair price and one for an absolute steal! After that, I won $100 off of the entry raffle. Today was a good day.

          Nice pick up, if you don't love the single six you hate cowboy movies to. Thats just plain un-American.

            Yeah it is in friggin great condition too, considering it was dated at 1957. 1 tiny little scuff mark on the rear driver side of the receiver is the only flaw. Add to that that I got it for about 1/2 of the gunbroker going rate for "Old Model" RSS's and it means I did quite well.

              Well, this is only semi related...

              I had a 1 round in a 100ct box of WWB 9mm without a primer, the rest fired with out any trouble. It had powder, but no primer.

              Had to call around to several Winchester people before finding the right number and having to leave a message. About 5 minutes went by before I got a call back from Winchester Customer Service. They're Dropping off a pre-paid UPS label so they can inspect the round. Customer service lady was very nice and said they would likely give me some sort of compensation. I saw some more severe QC issues on arfcom and compensation ranged from 5$ to a box of ammo to a case. So we'll see if I get 5$ a Box of ammo or ???

              I'll probably continue to shoot WWB; 1 round out of all the boxes I've bought isn't too bad in my book, OTOH this would NOT have exploded in my gun had I not seen it, whereas some of the other QC issues I saw may very well have. At the present moment though, I have about 1000 rounds to PMC 9mm to burn through.

              I had a bunch of this hungarian MFS 9mm and had about 1/5 rounds with FTFs, out of my G17, my friend had slightly fewer out of his XD9. Not sure what the deal with that was, too hard of primers I guess? Anyway, didn't bother contacting them about it but Winchester seems to be handling this well so far.
