Question for Bert H.
Bert I was reading the states section of USA Today and they had a blurb about Presidential firearms at the Cody Museum. Was suprised to see JFK & LBJ as some of the previous Presidents with guns there. What sort of firearms did those two have thst are on display? The article only stated a Winchester Model 64 owned by Reagan.

Bert, I might be inheriting(godmothers daughters don't want it and their husbands are totally gun clueless and would just as soon sell it to a pawn shop) a Winchester Low Wall in .32 Short. This rifle has sat over a fireplace mantle since at least the 1950's and hasn't been fired because I belive the firing pin is broken. Is this something that can be fixed easily? I know the .32 Short isn't exactly a long range tack driver or game other than say varmint getter but I sure hate seeing it just sit. The gun is in good condition with a tight action and just normal wear and tear. 0 -
I do not know the answer to your question. The Model 64 attributed to Ronald Regan is a very recent addition, as I just saw it at an auction last year. 0 -
Ah gotcha..just read the article today..and then went to the Cody website but it had no info either. 0 -
LBJ doesn't surprise me, JFK does. But, then again he was in combat and some of those kind of rub off on you. Seems to me a standard sidearm of a Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy during WWII, that being a 1911, comes to mind? 0 -
Here is a pic of the Reagan Winchester..pretty nice.
