Hey guys...not sure where to post this question, but I'll try here. Do any of you own/shoot/hunt with either one of these rifles? I've owned one of each for decades, inherited from my grandfather. I have a small quantity of ammo for both, and until now...had considered keeping both of them until I could see whether or not any of my kids might want them once they're old enough. (the kids, not the guns
) I suppose my question is this~are these considered desirable from a collectors POV? Ammo is nearly impossible to find, but from what I've heard about my grandfather...these would have been hunting guns or he wouldn't have owned them.
I've had the 1903 (.22 Winchester Auto) out a few times, but the difficulty (and expense) of getting replacement ammo. for it limits that activity. As an aside, I was told these were a "matching pair" of guns when I received them and indeed, in ways..I suppose they are. With time, I'm becoming less...not more nostalgic, so I'm thinking I might move these.
Since Winchester 1907s actually saw some military service, this might have belonged in a different forum...but here we are.
Keep or sell?
