1957 hunting Wingmaster

[Germansheperd]

Bought this one at a local gun show with the intentions of dragging it through the woods. Went through and rebuilt it. I think its good for another 50-60 years now!

Looks nice, good job. Love the worn bluing on a well-used firearm. So many stories that it could tell.

Thank you and I agree! I didn’t want to ‘over do’ it. Just go through and rebuild all the internals. My son and I had a good time taking it in the woods when it was finished.

Are you hunting perching birds like ptarmigan and grouse "in" the woods?

[Germansheperd]

Took it rabbit and squirrel hunting over Thanksgiving break. Didn’t see anything so we gave it a good test fire in the woods (bad weather). The old Wingmaster functionioned flawlessly and worked perfectly. No hiccups, jams, stuck shells I couldn’t be happier.

They're fairly simple and robust. Keep it clean, well oiled and always talk nicely about it and it'll serve for a lot many more years.
