Do they come with the old style Winchester trigger?


Any known problems with this rifle?
In a word - NO... laugh

All I've seen, save one, is the blind-mag version.. Can it be converted? Sure - just need a new stock, bottom metal and maybe magazine adjustment..

I found one about 12-13 years ago, NIB, for sale on Gunbroker.. It wasn't cheap, but I knew it would rapidly appreciate in value.. And it did.. smile
