The story of how it got there may never be known, but a rusting 132-year-old Winchester rifle -- known in U.S. lore as "the gun that won the West" -- was recently found resting against a juniper tree in a Nevada national park.

The gun, its stock split, gray and faded like driftwood, and its steel barrel rusted brown, blended in perfectly against the tree in a remote part of the Great Basin National Park until a National Parks Service employee spotted it.

I have an acquaintance that found a Colt SA under a bush in NM . Don't remember the age but it was a great find . He took it a restorer and kept . He even shoots Once a year a cowboy shoot . Had pics but I lost them when my last PC went South .
