Don it's funny that you said that. I had ordered a 12 ga. earlier in that year. Reading a gun magazine article, I can't remember which one, it stated that Winchester proudly announces that it will be coming out with a 20 ga. in June 1966 I told the retired Master Sargent that ran the gun club about this and he said don't worry I'll sell the 12 ga. Wait until I get 4 other people and then I will order 5 of them, and he would get them for $186.85. It came in and I shipped in home in a leg-o-mutton gun case which I also still have.
The prices for guns over there was unbelievable, I could have bought a 4 barrel Browning Superposed for $500, but at a Spec 4's pay it was a lot of money then.
Hunting there was also good but that is another story.
