Custom Carved Winchester 32 Special

Author: Custom Carved Winchester 32 Special
This rare, custom carved Winchester 32 special is still a beauty to behold. This gun had been handed down to one of the grandson’s. The cattle rancher who owned this gun is as old ranchers. I thought it would be a way to honor him and help keep some of his history alive for generations to come. This gun has been custom carved with their family brand, which has been inlayed in ivory, then surrounded with basket weave. The edging is an old fence post with rusted barb wire wrapped around the entire design. The gun stock has been hand painted to bring out the detail. I’m sure when the owners grandfather sees his old gun. Showing how his grandson has honored him. He will be very proud.
History of the Winchester .32 Special
Winchester Model 1894 (also known as Winchester .30-30 rifle, Winchester 94, Win 94,, .30-30 Winchester, or simply .30-30) is one of the most famous and most popular hunting rifles. It was designed by John Browning in 1894, and was produced by Winchester Repeating Arms Company through 1980 and then by U.S. Repeating Arms under the Winchester brand until they ceased to manufacture rifles in 2006. In 2010 FN Herstal will reintroduce the Model ’94 as a limited production firearm. Read the rest of this entry »

CARVED GREENER SHOTGUN
CARVED GREENER SHOTGUN
I have been given a unique opportunity to carve a stagecoach on a W. W. Greener replica shotgun. This carved greener shotgun was completed for a great great grandson of the Wells Fargo Stageline. The great great grandfather was one of the original gunmen employeed by the Wells Fargo Stagelines of long ago.
This gun will always remind my customer of his family history. The story is now well preserved, carved here on the replica of his Greener shotgun. He will no doubt hand this gun down to his children and they to their for generations to come.
I have found it very interesting reading the history of the W. W. Greener shotgun. I hope you enjoy learning as much about this as I have.
