Title: New Pony in the Stable
Post by: TheSkyBuster on November 11, 2012, 04:54:51 PM: I've been searching for a couple years for the right one.

Finally picked her up last night.

It was a little rusty on the inside:

Nothing a little TLC can't fix (plus a bunch of Hoppe's# 9 and a little CLP)

Serial # 13XXX-S puts the manufacture date around 1948 if I'm not mistaken

My first Woodsman, I got her on a straight accross trade for my safe queen Mark II that I never really liked anyway. :IBCOOL:

I've had a couple of those over the years. Sure do like them.

CAMPMEAT, the gun being in the picture scares me more than the beer :O)
