A friend once offered to sell me his dad's win 94 while hunting at his camp inherited from his dad. I took the gun and looked it over good, a nice gun from another time. He said his dad had killed a lot of Maine deer at this camp over the decades so he knew it was good. I handed it back to him and said walk over to my truck. When we had walked over I told him to notice how he was carrying it, right hand gripped around the receiver for balance. Then I showed him that the bluing was worn away under his hand. He had a puzzled look. Then I said that wear imprint was his dad's hand where he had carried it through many miles of north woods. With a tear in his eye he put it away and said he would keep it now. He was early 70's then, I have often wondered what happened to that gun.
