Received a Winchester 70-30-06 SPRG from my father in law and I know nothing about the gun. Can some one help shead soem light on it? I can provide the serial number if it will help find info on it.

Thanks for the link. I found a site that you can search the serial number and it seems that the rifle is a post 1964 model and was built in 1964.

 

Not to seem stupid on this subject but I dont know much about rifles. Would this be the correct ammo for it? http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=RT23699&src=tpCtgAm

Yes it is 30-06 Springfield ammo or just 30-06

:shock:

 

read some safety shooting material before firing the gun.

 

hey mak's do we have the ten comanments posted on the site ?

I have shot rifles before I just never have this one or owned one. First thing I need to do is take it apart clean and oil it. I feel breaking it down will help me learn a bunch about the gun.
