Thread: Guns you wish you never sold.

I had a 356 Winchester model 94 that I wish I had never sold...it came into the country as a wrongly labelled 307.

OMG, back in 1994 when I lived in Palmerston North, I brought a Winchester Big Bore in .356, from a guy in Putaruru. He brought a Winchester Big Bore in .307 from the Winchester agent in Auckland, but in reality it was a .356. Wondered what was happening when the .307 ammo he was firing was printing like a shotgun!
Turns out this .356 had been accidently put in the wrong box by the pleb in the US.

Managed to pick up 3 boxes of .356 ammo from a gun shop in Gore. Later I got a large quantity of .307 brass and sized up in my FL die. Wish I'd never sold that rifle. A real powerhouse calibre, especially with 250gr pills.
