First year production md 70

I inherited a Winchester Md 70 from my father, i was curious as to year so i looked up the serial number, 1936, it was then I realized the 4 digit serial number was not only a pre 64 but the very first year, it has almost perfect bluing the stock has a small notch cut out like it was going to have a peep-sight, how does one gauge a price for this rifle i currently have an offer for 2500 but don’t really have anything to compare to, thank for any insight

Winchester Model 62 pump .22

First time posting here, so hello all. I've recently come across a model 62 pump .22 rifle. I never knew there was such a thing. It'll shoot. 22 short, .22, and .22lr cartridges.

It looks to me like it's in serviceable condition with a good cleaning and lubrication.

Can any of you here clue me in to how many of these are floating around and how rare it may be?

The rifle was manufactured in 1936 per the serial number, and it's in pretty darned good condition for being 90 years old.

Buddy gave me his 1895 Winchester.

I got a free Winchester 1895 that was I believe was made in 1915. It’s says .30 cal. I’m not sure why the wire is wrapped around it. I’m guessing the plate screw has dissues. It seems sturdy but curious if I should try to remove the wire?
It’s in rough shape. I see some were made for Russia in 1915. Anyone might know more about it? If I should clean it? leave it?
It seems to not be worth much but like his old it is.

1915 model 92 44WCF

Hey guys. My initial research shows this to be a small military contract for the British Navy in the first couple months of 1915 for WWI. The metal proofs are clear but the wood not so much after a century. If anyone has something with cartouches they could offer as examples that would be awesome. Everything just looks like dents. It is a shooter tho. Set out at 50yds and shot a decent group. Noticed the rear sight was actually a hair left…centered sight slightly overcorrected as indicated by follow up shot…one more highly calibrated tap back to the left and sent two more solid ones. The elevation however is a ladder sight 0-20 metric that the slider is kinda loose. I read something about springs but guessing those are tiny. Any information or experience with these would be awesome. She looks rough but does her job well…that is if I can correct this sight. Thanks guys.

Winchester Model 12 Barrel

I have a 1925 Model 12, 12 gauge with a 32” full choke barrel. I want a shorter, cylinder bore barrel for range fun & defense. Found one from 1931. Looks to be same take-down type as mine. The only difference besides the year is mine says nickel steel that one says proof steel. Will this extra barrel fit my gun?

My 1897 wasn't extracting right, knew it was the left side extractor, but not sure if it just needs a major clean, or if I need to order a new part. Saw the left side is a pain for all 97's though.
